They moved to Holdenville in 1977, where Ronnie owned and operated the Justice Shop, a small engine sales and service business, from 1977 until he retired in 2009.

Ronnie thoroughly enjoyed life, and pursued many and varied interests. He taught Small Engine Repair at Wes Watkins Technological Center. He spent considerable time teaching Small Engine Repair and Horticulture to inmates at Earl Davis Correctional Facility, and also coached many basketball and softball tournaments there.
