We sadly announce the passing of Lion Ronnie Wilson.

Ronnie Wilson joined the East Hartford Lions Club in Feb. 2008. He was sponsored by PCC Kathy Randall. He immediately became active in all club fund raisers and service projects. He also participated in our social activities including mystery rides and summer picnics. Lion Ronnie took particular interest in supporting the district's fishing derby which was held for many years at Salters pond in Manchester. Each year he would drive several blind East Hartford residents to the derby. Ronnie saw his role as a Lion as one that was first and foremost service centered. He was not particularly focused on moving up in the leadership chairs, although he did volunteer to serve on our board of directors several times.

Lion Ronnie Wilson's quiet leadership was noted by his fellow Lions. In 2013 he was awarded a Melvin Jones Fellowship, the highest honor a club can bestow on a member. The following year, Ronnie received the Ambassador of Sight award from the Low Vision Center in appreciation of his service to people who are blind.
