I remember his Mom & Dad used to eat breakfast with me & my husband, Gorham, at KFC, in Rocky Mount. We used to share some good memories. I miss them, still.
I worked with at QVC in Rocky Mount NC. Ronald or as we all called him Pup. He ran the highbay section most nights taking pallets off the conveyor and setting them in the right sections for us to transport, sometimes 200+ pallets a night,he always tried to make it easy for us though. He was a good man, and he was great at his job he knew more about qvc then most of them up there. He always had a good story to tell. I liked working with him he made the job a lot more fun. I know he will surly be missed, we still miss him at the Q !!! Carole Pearse
