They dedicated “Send Me An Angel” to Ronnie. And to echo my friend Gil on this site. Ronnie was a one of kind singer and performer. I was always blown away on how such a small person had such a powerful voice. Please take a moment and listen to Dio’s music this week. Ronnie we will miss you and we will always love you!!!
RIP RONNIE JAMES DIO 1942-2010
