Guestbook

  1. Ronnie was so good to our children. He often gave them pocket change when he saw them at church. We could always count on him to be at his greeting post, ready to help! Our oldest daughter enjoyed having he and Rosie as her teacher in Awana every Wednesday night. We will miss him dearly, and we are so thankful for the time we were able to serve alongside him at CIBC. Our love and prayers are with the family during this time.

  2. So very sorry to hear of Ronnies’ (Lightning) passing. We worked many years together in the cable dept. and throughout other departments, in both of our careers, at the Telephone Company. I always enjoyed his company. A Good Guy!!! May the Love of Jesus Christ be with Ronnies family during this time and always.

  3. I am so sorry to learn of Ronnie’s passing. He and my Dad, Jim Ellis, used to play softball together at Meadow Brook Park. My Dad thought the world of Ronnie! He was always a gentleman and loved a good game of softball! I know he will be missed. My sincerest condolences. 🌹

  4. Reid and Sarah, Henry and I are so sorry to hear about your dad. We are keeping you in our prayers. Mary Ann and Henry Pollock

  5. Thoughts and prayers for the family during this difficult time. Worked a few projects with Ronnie during his time with the telephone company and it was always a pleasure to see his name on the work orders. Mack Everette City of Rocky Mount (retired)

  6. I am deeply sadden to learn of Ronnie’s passing. Recently he contacted me with comforting words after the loss of my husband. Ronnie and I have been friends since high school and worked together at Sprint. He was a fine man and a dear friend. He will be missed. Deepest sympathy.

  7. Not sure if this is the Ronny Wester we are looking for, but in our group of friends Cyberdogs has become a thing for many years. We’re very grateful for the game and for the creator of the game. It says its made by Ronnie Wester and therefore we would like to share our condolences. Thank you for the joy his game has given us and may he rest in peace.
