I am very fortunate. He was my hero and I ended up working for him and building a wonderful friendship. I can tell you firsthand that he was the real deal, and very genuine. A couple years after he was diagnosed with cancer, I called him to tell him that they had found a small cancerous spot on my dads bladder. Guess who was knocking at the front door the next morning to show support ???? Yep...good ole Ronnie. He was a true friend and I'll forever cherish my many memories with him.
