   To the family of Ronnie Weber,
   Our deepest sympathies to the entire family. Our memories of Ronnie will always bring a smile to our faces. The days of him running around with Arnie Falkner and the stories of them were priceless. We lived in Westby, and I can still remember the day that Ronnie and Arnie just took a road trip and stopped in unexpected. I believe they had been running around to auctions, and dropped in to see our son, (Arnie's grandson) The grins on their faces, and the giggling of those two men was so cute. We have heard many of their stories over the years...not just from them, but from others. A fun loving man, and we hope that all of you spend a lot of time remembering and telling stories of Ronnie. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

   Kerry and Lori Falkner

   To Ronnie's family, I am truly sorry for your loss during this most holy season. To all, especially my cousins, Marge, Butch, and Diane, may your good memories get you through these difficult days. Ronnie was the first guy to let me drive a tractor while the stronger cousins loaded bales on to the trailer. He didn't let me have the job too long however, as I kept aiming right at the next bale instead of down the row:)
