William Hugh Howard, Jr (1971)

Ronnie was one of my close friends in High School.  I had seen him a couple of times after High School.  He got married and I had met his wife. They lived in a S/w  MH and seemed to be happy.  In 1980 while I was working for Fayette Sheriff's Offfice, I received a call from his wife telling me he had died in a car accident several week prior in PTC Ga.   He had a older brother a year or 2 1970 or 1969 CPHS named Tony >  Tony was a great foot ball player in school.  I remember going to the foot ball games and time after time you would hear over the loud speaker,  "Tackel by Bennett"......RIP my old friend...

Update I just got a FB friends reqquest from Tony s wife 9-21-23..said that she and tony were married for 34  1/2 years before Tony died..she added that Tony never got over Ronnie's death. She aded that all his brothers have passed away too except for on being Mark...the   3 sisters are still alive . The wife'a name is Sue Reddock Holliday Bennett on Face book if any one wants to get in touch with her.
