I’m there! There’s not enough words to say Ronnie left too early, he will be so missed and I am so proud and lucky to have known him. There was nobody like Ronnie! The mold was broken when that one was born. Actually I think all the Zimmerman molds were broken. He will have some great people to party with now. My heart breaks for you, all of you. I love you all and cherish my time with you. God Bless us. Here’s to you Ron!
Jennifer my prayers are with you and your family. May the God of hope fill you with peace and comfort your heart during this difficult time. God Bless.

You can always tell the character of a person by the impact he has had on those around him. It is evident that his legacy and passion for life lives on in all of your memories, hearts, and laughter of happier times. Please know my thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.
I had the esteemed pleasure of knowing Ron strictly through stories from Jean while I never met him personally.
