"So many memories of Ronnie. Toured together many times. He always had a kind word and a smile and he LOVED the Yankees.
"In 2004 on the DIO/ANTHRAX tour I would get the Yankee score every inning for Ronnie while he was on stage. He was so into it.
"Saw BLACK SABBATH on the 'Black & Blue' tour [featuring BLACK SABBATH and BLUE ÖYSTER CULT] at Madison Square Garden [in New York City] in 1980. First row center.
"Ronnie was king of the world. Top 3 shows of all time."
