Ronnie was a 1958 graduate of Middleburg High School, where he played trumpet in marching band and was on the golf team and bowling league.

Earlier in life he worked at IGA Middleburg. He served in the US Army from November 1963 until his honorable discharge in March 1965. He was stationed in Germany as a butcher and came home and worked for many “Fisher” uncles at their butcher shops. Ronnie then worked at PennDot, where he retired after 30 years.

After retirement, Ronnie enjoyed spending time helping the Mitchell family on their produce farm with picking and selling produce. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing with his granddaughters, spending time at the cabin with family and friends and spotting deer. He was a very generous person and would give hugs and quarters to any children around. He was known by friends as “Froggy” or “Hook”.
