During college he became interested in baseball and went on to start his coaching career at Orangefield High School in 1959. In 1960 he decided to become a part of the West Orange Chiefs as Head Baseball Coach. During his time at West Orange he was principle for 7 years. Ronnie then continued his coaching career with the merge of schools into the West Orange-Stark Mustangs where he retired after 31 years. Coach Andy had a passion for not only the development of his student athletes, but he also reached out to other community student athletes and helped them to succeed as well. He loved deer hunting, fishing, and golfing with his family and friends. Ronnie was a wonderful person and loved his family dearly. He will be missed by so many, but his legacy lives on.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Elizabeth Lucille Anderson; his second wife, Wilma Jane Anderson; his sister, Ruth Lynelle Scales; and his brother, Keith William Anderson.
