Frank and I are so sad to learn of Ronnie’s passing. We were friends with him, Loette, and Amy when they lived in Longview, Texas. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the family.

Ronnie was my friend, and always will be. When I moved back to Arkansas in 2010….Benton, I went to Edwin Watts and ran into Ronnie on my first visit….his exact words to me as I walked down the used club aisle “are you Ben Loftis that went to Hall High School?”….can you believe that, I graduated in 1965 and hadn’t seen Ronnie since then. I played in many golf tournaments with Ronnie; we won several and always finished in the money….Ronnie was my friend and will be missed.

Loette, Amy, Ron + the Grandkids;
Sorry to hear of Ronnie’s death. He was a good friend and golf buddy. I am glad that he was able to move down to Florida and be close to all of you. He would of course love to tell stories of Family and golf.
All our Best,

Ronnie and Loette were our best friends when we lived in Dallas, four Arkansans living in Big D. We had an awesome time together and cherish their friendship always. You are greatly missed already Ronnie. Lots of love to all of your family.

My Uncle Ronnie, I love you and miss you greatly. I am 54 years old and never knew your name was William. He would have laughed at that. Fond memories are talks we would have when no one was around. The last one sitting on the front porch there in Tarpon Springs. You had just gotten off work. My wedding was beautiful because you were there to walk me down to my future. Thank you for everything.
