He was such a great friend to my David (Animal) Satterlee. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I know there will be big hugs in Heaven waiting for you, Trip!
so many people know him by some nickname but I knew him 40 years ago when men were known by their character. The most generous guy I have ever known. He stood next to me at a moments notice to be my best man October 4th 1992 was at both of my children’s births. We grew together, we lived together, we raised our families together and when he moved to Tennessee kept in touch. When my wife went down he was right there on the phone helping me make sense of it all. He guided me, He was my best friend, he was my drum technician when we were kids and played in a band, he was my compadre. Now for him to leave I can only pack a bag drive 700 miles round trip to make sure I do my part in saying goodbye. I loved you Ron probably more than a brother i’m gonna miss you till I come home too but then you were always first in everything too.
I miss you with every breath I take .Your were the best husband and friend and father I have ever known. I will love you always
