One Story Describes Who Ronnie Pilcher Was
As I was scrolling through nearly a hundred comments of people that would miss seeing Mr. Pilcher there was one story that stuck out to me. One Longview citizen saw Ronnie purchasing a coat at a thrift store. He paid for his coat and then donated the change he got back to help someone else who might be in need of warm clothing. This homeless man cares more about helping other than he cares about money in his own pocket.

While I didn't know Mr. Pilcher myself it's powerful to see how many lives he touched in Longview, Texas. And before he made his way to Longview he served in the U.S. Military.
