Stephen "Ronnie" Rondou

Ronnie was a great friend of mine for nearly 50 years. Over that time he made every encounter, every day, and every minute a joy. Ronnie left us suddenly, making it difficult for me to process the loss that I am feeling now and will undoubtedly be felt for a long time. Cindy, Ronnie loved and adored you. He told me that many times. Tristen, your father loved you as well, and was so proud of you. We had many conversations of how you impacted his life. Cindy and Tristen, Renee and I wish you and your family the best as you progress through life and hope you smile and cry in equal measure when you think about Ronnie. Jimmy

Ronnie was a very special friend through thick and thin, beginning with our college years playing softball at UW and Lodi through 40 years of travel, tragedy and triumph. -David "Stee" Krier The photo is us celebrating our birthday week skiing in Whistler, BC
