My dearest brother Ronnie,
Or as you prefer # 4.
You have always been the one,
We surely adored.

Your love for life and all you'd give,
Forever in our hearts you will always live.

Your laughter and charm just couldn't be beat,
For everyone around you, even strangers you'd meet.

The best father, husband, brother and son,
And cherished as a friend to everyone.

From the days on your Harley or pushing us off track,
When we'd go to the park and ride go-karts.

The fun and memories we have shared, are just only a part,
And will remain forever in the bottom of my heart.

From the Kentucky Wildcats to the Tampa Bay Bucaneers,
There wasn't a bigger fan screaming out their cheers.

The big smile on your face as you look down on us today,
You brought us all together - you always wanted it this way.

We feel you all around us as we try to hold back the tears,
But your love and compassion for life will help us thru the years.

I love you forever and in my heart you will stay,
Till be can all be together again some wonderful day.
