    Marilyn and Rhonda,
    My condolences to both of you. I worked with Ronald at U.S. Geological Survey and he taught me all about being a good Hydrologic Technician, both in the field and in the office. I spent many days down in Morgan City with him and Roger (what a pair they were!). Those were the good ole days!

    May you find peace in knowing that he was loved by so many over the years.

    Marilyn and Rhonda, my heart goes out to the both of you along with my continued prayers. I worked very closely with Ronald the first 20 years of our carrier with US Geological Survey. He was truly one of the GOOD GUYS. There is one thing I am very sure of. When I get to Heaven, Ronald will be there waiting with a bottle of Ketchup (private joke). Seriously though, I know he is with God and is rejoicing.

    Marilyn and Rhonda, I am so sorry. I was in shock when I heard that he was sick. When he was with the county he was so full of life and kept us on our toes when he came up here. I really missed his jokes and his carrying on. You are in my prayers.
