    BR was a great friend and Shell oil coworker to Ronnie. As I was scrolling through the obits I saw this. We had no idea BR had passed; it was a shock to see. You are all in our prayers May God give you peace and comfort throughout the days ahead. Treasure the memories you all have of this great man, they last forever.
    Deepest Sympathy
