| I didn't know him well or even long, but it didn't take much to see what a loving father he was. He also seemed to care about others before him self, a wonderful quality. I send his family love for the great loss and he will be missed. |

| I am sorry for your loss. Just remember footprints in the sand, where God says "During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." I wish your family well. |

| Ronnie had
aspirations to go to dental school and worked with me in my dental office
and dental laboratory one summer after high school when I practiced in
downtown Newport News...I think he decided to become a podiatrist instead of
a dentist...as a relative was already in that field. Very nice fellow...we
had lost contact...so young. RBA NNHS Class of 1951 |

| I was sorry to
hear of Ronnie's passing. He was always a lot of fun. I enjoyed our early

| My mother (Rae
Gordon) was very good friends with the Sanders family, especially Ronnie's
mother Sara. As kids, we used to play ball at the JCC in Newport News and
spend time swimming at the Chamberlin Hotel in Hampton. Those were good days
that created many happy memories. I'm sorry to hear of Ronnie's death. and wish to express my sympathy to the entire Sanders family. |

From Me ('65) of NC -
10/27/06:
Ronnie (and
George and
Pam) and I all attended
Magruder School together as children, so we've known each other a
mighty long time. Ronnie and I were both in Mrs. Gladys Curry's
fourth grade class. |

This is one of my
favorite photos of Ronnie, blurry image and all. I captured it on our
field trip to Williamsburg. I was trying to take a picture of the
horse's head shown at the top. Just as I snapped it, Ronnie jumped in
and stuck his tongue out at me. I'm sure I didn't think it was all
that amusing at the time, but when I saw the picture, I had to laugh.
Ronnie frequently made me laugh. I don't think I've seen him since our graduation 41 years ago, but I shall miss him anyway. |

From the
Valedictorian of the Class of 1965, Charles Braslow of the Virgin Islands -
10/30/06 - "
Ronnie Sanders":
| Dear Carol,
I was sorry to hear about Ronnie Sanders' passing. He lived near me in Hidenwood and was one of a contingent of Typhoons who lived up in Ferguson and Warwick territory. He was one day older than me so our Bar Mitzvahs were a week apart in February, 1961, when we were NNHS mice. His and my parents decided to have a joint Bar Mitzvah dance which I always resented because I didn't want to share the spotlight! My condolences to his family and, as always, thanks to you for keeping us all up to date. Charlie Braslow, NNHS '65 |

Our sincerest sympathies are extended to Ronnie's family and friends.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol
