Sad news indeed...

I recall my last meeting with him I was in Charlotte NC for a show featuring some of the great racers of the past of both Drag and NASCAR. The show was a bust and was not promoted well however It was a golden opportunity to meet Ronnie and his wife. I think there was a few dozen spectators at the entire event. That was good for me because I got to speak at length with him and his wife for a good long time. He signed a bunch of stuff for me and was very giving of his time. We sat out back of the event on a picnic table and discussed a wide variety of subjects. Truly a magical time. I recalled to him when he signed for me many years ago a flyer/catalog from the Performance car clinics he did for Chrysler.
