Ronnie passed on Monday, the 3rd. of Jan. He was one of the first steel players I was ever around when he played with Bob and Claude Fuel at the Grand Ole Uproar in the big town of Big Point, Ms. That was in the late 70's I believe. Ronnie attended several shows in Gulfport but never played. He was happy to just watch. You would never know he played if you didnt know him. Im sure many around Gulfport and Mobile knew him.
