A friend, Asheville, NC. Ronnie was a fine gentle person. He was a special childhood friend. I miss him and treasure my childhood memories. Marsha Honeycutt, [email protected].
Photo is from the 1965 Erwin Echoes Annual of Clyde A. Erwin High School, Asheville, North Carolina. Ronnie and I were classmates for 4 years at Clyde A. Erwin High School near Asheville, North Carolina. I remember him as being a quiet and easy going fellow, and always a nice smile on his face. Too bad that we remember him only as he was, and cannot know him as he would have been. Marshall Styles. [email protected].
