Words cannot express my sadness. Uncle Ronia was not only my uncle; he was my FRIEND! I will miss his jokes and his stories. We had so much fun! There was never a dull moment when he was present. For every birthday that he celebrated,  he was always 19!!! . His heart was so big. He was there when I had my 3 boys. He even walked with me when I was in labor with my last son. There was never a time when I needed him,that he wasn't there. I will miss his RADIO voice and his laugh. I love you Uncle Ronia!  Thank you for every memory. Take your rest!!!

Love, "Maynard"
