Dear Evely,
Please accept my sincere sympathy for your terrible loss. Although many years have passed since Ron and I spoke about our careers and families, I recall him as a remarkable man. Your family will always be remembered fondly. When I mentioned this obituary to my younger son, he recalled the family's pet monkey! How long ago, but not forgotten
May you find comfort and peace from all your friends.

I have created a memorial Web site for my dad, Ron, which includes some of the eulogies and reflections offered at his funeral and afterwards, as well as some articles about him that have appeared in the press. It is located www.ronaldshlensky.com.

To Ev and the "Kids" and the rest of the family, As Ron's old tennis partner and ex neighbor when you all lived in Glencoe, We are deeply sadened by what happened. Words alone can not express our feelings and I remember many "One on One" conversations with Ron in the Sauna after tennis and at the boating beach. All my family's love goes out to you people.

My sincere sympathy to you and your family. I graduated from Lindblom HS with Ron and will always remember him as a fine young boy/man. I also was in the medical field as a nurse retiring from Rush.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Shlensky's family. I will always have wonderful remembrances of Ron during law school and afterward when he insisted that my family join Congregation Solel. I was disappointed when he told me he was moving to California and shocked when I read he had been killed. A great loss.

Dear Everly & Family.
I write to you with a sad heart. I lost my husband a few months ago and I know what a void is felt by all. May his memory be for a blessing.
