For whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. Ruth 1:16-17

He loved the outdoors...hunting and fishing...and was an avid Atlanta Braves fan. He always found time to plant a garden and loved to work in his yard. He never met a stranger , loved to reminisce about "the good old days" and loved genealogy.

During Ronnie's military career, she followed him to bases around the world, taking good care of her family. She and Ronnie recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary...their love truly withstood the test of time.
