Ronnie graduated from Deering High School and SMCC. He served his country and his community in the U.S. Army, serving in Vietnam and had a career and retired from the Portland Police Department. He also coached youth baseball.
Ronnie had a big smile and hearty laugh, and loved so fully and gave so freely to all. He was a strong and quiet fighter, who met every trial with grace and faith. Family was everything to him. Ronnie was a kind, gentle father and “Grampy” who had an incredible ability to calm crying babies, and rambunctious children and dogs. He cherished spending time with his children and grandchildren, and his nightly dinners with his dear friend, Ann Marie. He enjoyed all things NE sports, especially watching the Patriots with his son and talking post games with his brother, Eddie.
