Sandy, Corey, Jen, Kevin, Debbie, Tracy and kids-
My deepest condolences go out to all of you. When I hear Ronnie's name, I smile. He was a always a huge part of parents weekends at Illinois- making sure he was involved in the grilling or the drinking, showing up in his fur coat and cowboy hat and always having an opinion to share 🙂 I always enjoyed seeing him and Sandy and sharing memories of those days. I am thinking about you all and wishing I was with you tomorrow to laugh and cry and nosh the day away.
