After graduating from St. Aug, Ronnie spent his early career as Director of Youth Employment and Training in New Orleans at TCA---Total Community Action.  His wife of 56 years, Brenda, says they lived in Texas briefly after Hurricane Katrina, then made Bossier City, Louisiana their home.  Ronnie later became a prominent liquor salesman for International Wine and Spirits.
Family members say Ronnie was affectionately known as "Boo" and was a devout Catholic.  He and his wife raised their niece and nephew----Marlo and Louis----after Brenda's sister passed.
Those who knew him best say Ronnie was a loyal Saints fan, and will be remembered as a warm, kind, and devoted family man.
