Ridgeway, Lonroe L. "Red" 

MARSHALL -- Services for Lonroe L. "Red" Ridgeway, 84, of Bay 
City, formerly of Kermit, will be 10 a.m. Thursday, August 17, 
2006, at the Colonial Chapel of Sullivan-Heaster Funeral Home 
in Marshall, with the Rev. Mike Midkiff and the Rev. Billy 
Evers officiating. Interment will be in Piney Cemetery of 
Harleton. Mr. Ridgeway passed away at 5:30 a.m. August 14, 
2006, in Houston, after a short illness. He was born October 
23, 1921, in Harleton, to A.B. and Bertha Jones Ridgeway. He 
was a veteran of World War II, and a member of the American 
Legion and VFW. Mr. Ridgeway worked for Skelly (Texaco) as a 
pumper until he retired in 1982. Red loved to hunt and fish, 
and would rarely come back from the field or water without 
game in his pouch or fish in his net. He passed down as much 
of his 84 years of wisdom and love for the outdoors as he 
could to his two grandsons. Anyone who knew him also knew that 
he had a green thumb for growing the biggest, juiciest tomatoes 
around. He was a loving father and grandfather, and he will be 
greatly missed. Mr. Ridgeway was preceded in death by his parents, 
A.B. and Bertha Ridgeway; and brothers, Albert O.D. Ridgeway, 
Jesse Ridgeway, Chester Ridgeway, and Harmon Ridgeway. He is 
survived by his daughters and son-in-law, Kim Ridgeway Moya and 
Pat of Bay City, Tracee Ridgeway of Houston, and Fran Solomon; 
grandchildren, Colby L. Moya of College Station, Sean P. Moya of 
College Station, Stacie, Lonnie and Norman, Lil Cap Soloman, and 
Lil Bob Soloman; and sisters, Alma Smith of Longview, and Betty 
Arnold of Marshall. Pallbearers will be Richie Arnold, Tommy 
Arnold, Richard Ridgeway, Dennis Ridgeway, Glenn Ridgeway, and 
Billy Ridgeway. Visitation will be from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday 
evening, August 16, 2006, at the funeral home.
