This pedestrian is or was not just a 81 year old pedestrian ,this man was my Dad. His name was Ronald L. Cummins of Clearwater. Some of you may remember him as the owner of the Pinellas Park restaurant; A LIL BIT KUNTRY.
This tragedy happened shortly after we were given the terrible news that his daughter (my sister) Andrea Cummins had passed that very same day, in fact about 2 hours prior to my father being struck and killed. Please don’t forget how fast everything can change, make each moment you have with the ones that you love priceless because you really do not know when ur last moments will really be your last
