Ronald Burckhalter Obituary

I worked in Customer service at Westvaco & remember meeting him shortly after I began my employment in July 1969. I liked him early on because of his kindness & sense of humor! He liked to tease & "kid around" & so did I so we always worked at outdoing each other! It was all good, clean fun. I got to know Emma, too, & what a little bundle of dynamite she was! She was always so sweet & nice the few times I was around her. I knew he loved his family the way he spoke of them. He will be missed & the world needs more "Ronnies"!!! My sympathies are with his entire family in their loss.

I have such fond memories of Uncle Ronnie, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. He will be greatly missed.

What a surprise it was to learn of Ron's passing. We had lost track of one another for the past several years, for no good reason as we always enjoyed one another's company.

We met thru Providence Baptist Church "Retired Men's Breakfast Group", of which Ron was a charter member.

When we would catch up at Wednesday Night church, he would always tell me about his grandsons. It was very important to Ron to teach them how to handle a gun and the "fine art" of turkey hunting. He would brag about them.

And, Emma... God only made one Emma, but they were a perfect match. Not a "bashful" bone in her body and I loved them both.

I got to meet, son, Johnathan on a couple of occasions at a Wednesday night supper at church. I had sent Johnathan a package of odds and ends while he was over seas. One evening, while we were eating, I asked Ron what he had heard from Johnathan and Ron said, "Why don't you ask him, he's siting next to you". We all had a good chuckle.

Ron, what a nice guy!

Just a friend,

I am deeply saddened by Ronnie's passing. I was actually thinking about him the other day. I will always remember his quiet smile and how nice he was to a pesky little cousin as I was growing up. God has another angel and Ronnie is with the love of his life once more.

My sympathy to this family to which I am related! It is easy to remember growing up with Ronnie and all our pals at LBC High School. Everything was always funny to Ronnie and I will always remember him that way!

Sending our love and prayers for your family. Linda (Chason) Josey

Sincere condolences to Ronald's family. When we worked at the same department, I remember his as a quiet, gentle spirit. May God comfort you with His everlasting Love.

My deepest sympathy . My thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Ronnie will be truly missed .
