"Dad, words cannot describe how lost I am without you. As that old song goes: "You should be here. Standing with your arm around me here. Cuttin up, crackin a cold beer. Saying cheers. Hey y'all it's sure been a good year". I knew that one day this would come...but not this soon. I promise to continue what you always taught me growing up. Work hard, give it all you got, and don't look back. If you mess up, you still aren't defeated because you learned something new. I love you Dad. Please watch over all of us, as you ride your Harley bike through the clouds."

"Ronnie Harless was one of the most dependable, steadfast, and likeable people I have known. He reminded me of Doc Holliday in the movie Tombstone (which he quoted almost daily), because he was always the most loyal and reliable of us all. You could always count on Ronnie to be there to help, to solve problems or to know how to get things done. Perhaps that is what is so shocking and unbelievable about Ronnie?s passing?being forced to accept the realization that he will no longer be there. He wasn?t just my coworker; he was my friend and I will certainly miss him."
