Ronnie began working at a young age, first as a house painter and then as a mechanic for the Federal Government Architect of the Capital, where he worked for 31 years until he retired in 2002. After retirement, he took up house painting again which kept him quite busy. He was also known in the neighborhood for working on lawnmowers and small engines and spent many a day in his garage taking in projects for neighbors and friends.
Ronnie put family first and was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather and was known to many kids in the community as “Pop Pop”. He enjoyed boating, hunting, fishing, and crabbing with his sons and was involved as they pursued interests in football and softball. He also found great enjoyment in farming, gardening, and wood crafting, which he generously shared with family and friends.
