He was actively involved with Lakeview Bass Masters where he served as secretary for many years. One of his absolute favorite hobbies was fishing. When he wasn’t spending time his family, you would catch him with a fishing pole in his hand reeling in large-mouth bass. His family described him as a jack of all trades. If someone needed something fixed, Mr. Ronnie was the man to do it. He was everybody’s handyman.
