Ronnie was employed at Mattoon Precision Manufacturing in Mattoon, IL and had worked at CHI in Arthur, IL prior to that.

Ronnie was a big NASCAR fan, Dale Earhart and Dale Earhart Jr. being his favorites.  He collected coins and rocks.  Ronnie enjoyed fishing, mushroom hunting, metal detecting and spending time with family especially his kids, and his favorite dog, Tipsy.

Ronnie was very hard working, loving, fun, stubborn at times, and may or may not have had a temper, but deep down he cared a tremendous amount and would give you his last dollar.
