He was raised with his family in the Turner and Blaine County areas attending grade school. His parents passed away when he was a young boy, so he had to move to Havre in 1960 to be near his brothers.

He lived at Hillside Trailer Court for many years and later moved to the Highland Park area.

Ronnie knew many people in town. He played guitar at the various bars, he could shine shoes that would sparkle and was known for that talent. Ronnie didn't drive, so he would walk all over town talking to people and visiting others at various establishments. Everyone in Havre has a good Ronnie story.
