The Ford family were our neighbors for years in Colfax, NC. Ronnie was a year older than me, but we enjoyed several years on the Northwest Guilford High School Track Team. I remember how hard he worked at Pole Vaulting. His parents were great neighbors and his father was a wonderful Sunday School Teacher at Shady Grove Wesleyan Church. Was very sorry to hear this news earlier today, Ronnie and his family will be in our prayers.
