Ronnie and I were boyhood friends many years ago. I remember that he was the same person then as I read about him now in these pages. An empty lot seperated his family on 18th St. and ours on Greenfield between 17th and 18th. e-mail: [email protected]

Big Papa,
You were the best father any of us could have asked for. You were always there for me whenever and for whatever I needed. Thanks for that,and I will see you again at that campground in heaven where I will be for eternity.

Miss you dad and just wanted to say thanks for always being there for me when I needed you to bail me out of some mess I got myself into. Always the rebel I guess.
Love you dearly

Dear Aunt Dorothy and family. Monique and I offer our deepest condolences on the passing of your husband and father. Uncle Ronnie was someone who always seemed to get the best enjoyment out of life. He was fun to be around. Best wishes.

Dear Dorothy and family

So so very sorry to hear of the loss of Ron. He was such a wonderful person with a great love for fun and family. He was a uncle to my children from day one. Maybe he and my John can now get together for a sheephead game in heaven. God be with you all

To the Schlaikowski's and their "extended" family members;

Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this time of sorrow, and most of all joy. Joy for there are so many memories of "Dad Schly" as growing up we got to calling him, let alone having all of you as part of our "in laws" for staying in the family through "friendship's" and a "marriage". We all have so many memories, the laughter that he instilled into so many others, it was addicting.....he always made everyone smile and laugh. He will never be forgotten.

To the "Schly" Family my deepest sympathy for all, your father I am sure is having a laugh with St. Pete, just as he would have been laughing with his family as he did on many occasions. Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Always
Little Mike Koceja and family

Dear Dorothy and family,

My sincerest sympathy for the loss of a faithful husband and father. In my mind, Ronnie will be remembered as the family participant who always made us laugh. His wit and humor will always be remembered. Peace be to you.

Dorothy and family, please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of John. We will greatly miss all his goofy comments at church. John was a super person and many will miss him.
