Ronald was well liked by everyone who came in contact with him. He was shy and quiet, but always acceptable to anyone. He was an only child and after his death his parents left all his things just as he had left them when he went to Vietnam. They never got over his death, and this I believe was a casualty rate of three people. I visit Ronald's grave often and pull the growth of plants on his grave, for now that his parents are dead he has no one to look after the grave site. He was a very good person and the world, our society, and our country missed out on what he would have contributed.
