To the family of Ronnie, My deepest condolences to you. I have lived on Boardwalk Rd for the last 10 years. My neighbor George introduced me to Ronnie shortly after moving in. Ronnie kept his lobster boat and rowboat (PT109) at the little pier behind my home. We called Ronnie, "Ronnie the Lobsterman!" He was such a sweet guy. Always enjoyable to talk to. Well into his 90's he would jump into his little rowboat and paddle out to his skiff standing up. He would go tend his traps and return with his catch. We will always remember Ronnie! I had always planned to give this picture to Ronnie. Rest in peace Ronnie!

My prayers go out to  Anne and Charlie.  May he rest in peace.  He was a great person and and inspiration.

Sorry to hear of The passing of Ron.  A true Cape Codder and a great citizen of old Sandwich.  He will be missed, they don’t make people like him anymore!!!!

My deepest condolences to the Merriam family.

Condolences on the loss of your Dad.  Peter Arey

Ronnie worked for me and with me at the Sandwich Transfer Station. He taught me how to operate the back hoe and how to Operate the equipment when I first started there. He was a good ol’e boy that use to tell all of his back in the day stories about sandwich and the Navy. He was a great guy and always a pleasure to be around. I always referred to him as Captain Ronnie. I have never known anybody to work Well into their 90’s, but he was a tough ol’e boy who will be forever missed. Rest In Peace. My condolences to his Daughter, Son and Granddaughter.

I worked with Ronnie for years at the D.P.W
I will miss his stories.
He was great guy and co worker. R.I.P buddy
Go get some lobters in heaven

Heartfelt condolences to his family.
He was a legacy at the “ old landfill “
Residents still frequently ask of his well being.
He will remain in our hearts and minds.
God bless his servant Ronnie.

Sorely Missed,
