Ronnie (aka Taco) loved fishing with a cain pole, barbecuing for his friends and music, especially Jimi Hendrix.  Ronnie always had a smile and never met a stranger.   When Ronnie wanted to be strong and fight thru he would say  I gotta "be a BIKER!  He was a biker throughout the seven months he fought this battle.

Ronnie wanted to thank his Hospice team, especially Dawn and Mary Jane. He also wanted everyone who helped with many acts of love and kindness to know how much he appreciated them.   Ronnie asked me to express that to all of you.
