I will miss you so much Uncle Ronnie. There are so many memories I have of you but these are the ones that stand out for me...You jumping out of the bushes when we lived north of Joy and scaring the pants out of us! You did this nearly every time you visited and always when we were playing outside after dark, . I loved it! I always looked forward to our yearly family vacations when we visited loved ones across the states over a two week period. The Newman family was always on the Salmon family vacation route. You loved to cook and especially recollect your scrambled egg breakfasts and you stating to "beat the eggs with 100 strokes". Every time I make scrambled eggs this memory comes to mind. You, Aunt Marlys, Ronnie, Jimmy, Tammy & Kimmy always made our entire family feel welcome and loved. These memories bring me such comfort during this sad time. Aunt Marlys, Ronnie, Jimmy, Tammy, Kimmy and the entire extended Newman family...May memories you have bring comfort to you too. I am so sorry for this great loss. I love you.
