"Ronnie is always pushing and I admire that about him. A few months ago, he was a delivery guy for "TaDa". I still follow him on Facebook, and sometimes he posts something inspirational. However, he is not as active anymore. I guess he is focusing on Bolt. All the best to him."

"He's driving with Bolt for some time now, a great man."
