    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!

    I did not have the honor of knowing Roland personally, but almost feel as if I have from the fun stories his sister Jean has shared at work. 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.

    Please accept my sincerest condolences to the family in what I am sure is a difficult time for everyone.

    May God comfort and keep you close.

    Charlie and I are very saddened to hear of your loss. While neither of us had the honor of knowing Roland, but we will always remember Jean sharing humorous stories of him. We know that Roland was well loved and respected individual who enjoyed a spending quality time with his friends and family. He had a colorful personality like his beloved sister Jean and the most abundant heart for dogs. Please accept our sincerest condolences and know that our thoughts are with the entire family.
