Ronnie's remains were found in his  home in Odessa.  He had been deceased for at least a week.  Herb Rehders is paying for a cremation.  He was estranged from his sisters.  His parents are buried near Carthage, Texas.  

I had known Ronnie since the 5th grade at Cameron.  He went to Crockett and then Odessa High School.  He retired from Texaco having worked in the Penwell Field for almost 30 years as a roustabout.  Ronnie had been married several times, he had a daughter, Rhonda with his first wife and she passed away in in 2016 at age 48 and is buried in Dallas at Restland Memorial Gardens.  

He was born in Pittsburg, Pa.  His father had discharged from the service there and met Ronnie's mom who was the daughter of Italian immigrants.  They moved to Odessa around 1955 and Ronnie remained here the rest of his life.  He was a 1965 Odessa High graduate and he attended Odessa College.
