I'm eternally grateful for "Lynn's dad", as I knew him for introducing me to live music! And educating me on the difference between a violin and a fiddle.

Ronnie you were such a great man and I'm surely going to miss. I loved always hearing the stores you could tell. You were also such an encouraging man , telling payouts can do it. I certainly will always remember you! Love Dale Greene and family
