Donny Drum Corps Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) My good friend Ronnie DeAugustine was taken to Rochester General Hospital last night suffering from a massive heart attack. He had surgery and is in recovery. Please join me in prayers for my wonderful, talented friend. Ronnie started out in the Geneva Appleknockers junior corps, and went on to St Joe's, Purple Lancers, Rochester Crusaders, Empire Statesmen, and the Brigadiers. He is a great soloist and a great guy. I played next to him also in funk bands and he never missed a note. Lets send our prayers that he recovers from this...

Donny Boomer and I just came back from visiting with Ron and I think he look's great for what he just went through. Boomer got Ron laughing like he does everybody and Ron promised us he would do whatever it takes to make sure this will never happen again. We told him that all his extended family was praying for and he was very grateful and surprised by everyone's support. Ron is a great person and has a great family and we all know he's a great horn player, and I want my cooking buddy to recover as fast as he can.

repsop Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I agree with all the comments. Ron and I rode together to the DCA Championshis in Sctanton in 2003/2003. Really good guy and a heck of a horn player. He told me about him and DA playing in the funk bands ....man that must have been a show to see. Best wishes and have a speedy recovery.

SkipMebden Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I loved every minute marching near and sometimes next to Ronnie in the Brigs. He's a great guy and hilariously funny! He plays every note in the show. How many people can claim that!? He's a monster player, PERIOD! And a monster human being, PERIOD! Recover friend!!!
