Shocked to just hear of Ronnie's passing last year. In this video clip Ronnie talks about getting an invitation to play with the Newport youth band in 1958. I remember that story well because I sat behind Ronnie as lead trumpet in the Alexander Hamilton high school Jazz band, directed by Mr. Rozovski. We had a talented group of young musicians and Ronnie stood out. I remember he played baritone back then because as a young guy I recall how big that instrument looked next to my B-flat trumpet. I followed his career over the years and admired how he rose in the Music industry. I still play and wish I could go back to those years because playing with Ronnie and that band were some of the best years of my young life. Ronnie had a wonderful musical run and inspired a lot of young sax players. As he is in peaceful rest his legacy lives on. Gerry

Just heard that Ronnie passed away a few minutes ago because I saw a recent video of him playing on instagram Just curious what happened because he looks youthful and healthy here but in the video I saw he looks unrecognizable- lost a lot of weight and looks a generation older Just curious what happened I saw this video a year ago maybe and just assumed Ronnie was still playing and doing well so it was really jarring to see him in that way in the recent video Rip

HIs final years were challenging, health wise. But that didn't stop him from continuing to play great music. We miss him.
