He and Allison had a special bond. They were very similar with their outgoing personality’s and love for the casino and buffets. He spoiled her with love, toys, and great memories.
He was an amazing father but an even better grandfather. Allison has four children; Enzo, Hazley, Ellery, and Kaleena.
Enzo gave him his official name of “Waka.” We don’t know how or why but that was his name and has been ever since Enzo could talk. Enzo was his first grandchild for 6 years. He loved him so much that he moved almost next door to be with him when he was 2 years old. He spent a a few months taking care of his first granddaughter Hazley and taught her to love a Marine style breakfast; oatmeal, toast, and a hard boiled egg that she still loves to this day.
Ronald Flood was a man of many talents it’s hard to sum up the life of a great man. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
