Ronnie was born on August 13, 1943 in Cleveland, OH. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on June 19, 2017. He was a resident of Willoughby Hills with his wife Patti Schnell, and also was a resident of South Euclid. He graduated from Benedictine high school in 1962. Ronnie was the proud owner of Derose Modern Image styling. He devoted fifty-three years to being a barber, and had a special relationship with each person who came walking through the door. His family came first as he loved each and every moment he shared with them. Traveling with friends and family on cruises was something that he looked forward to, creating even more memories with the ones he loved. Everyone knew that he was an avid Cleveland sports fan. He enjoyed watching his favorite sports teams such as the Cavaliers, Indians, and the Browns. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ronnie was a season ticket holder for the past fifty-three years, and renewed his faith in the Browns each year. From hitting the links on various golf courses, to throwing the bowling ball right down the alley at Wickliffe lanes. There was never a day he didn’t have fun. Ronnie will be deeply missed by his family and friends, but will always be in everyone’s hearts forever.
