Ronald Wayne Ortquist

Our condolences as you grieve your loss.

We are so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed. But he will always be near and in your hearts. Now he can sing and direct the choirs, he doesn't need a hymn book either. Our sincere wishes go out to Janet, Lisa, Steven and Paul. He cared so much for all of you. Blessings and prayers.

Thanks to all who have posted kind words here. We will all miss my dad greatly - he was a sweet man. My brother, sister and I have been saddened to see several unauthorized condolence websites pop up carrying our fathers obituary in an apparent effort to make a few bucks on commissions from flowers and whatever else they are peddling. This posting at Shorline Media appears to be another of these opportunistic efforts. Please visit the Beacon Funeral Services posting directly to leave...

We have so many wonderful memories of camping with Ron and Jan in Grand Marais - hunting blueberries, bilberries, chanterelles, leeks and agates! Will miss the hunts, campfire tales and his sense of humor, words of wisdom and prayer support! So blessed to have shared part of this journey with Ron, Jan and their wonderful family! Praying for you all at this most difficult time but cling to the promise we will see him again in heaven! Love you! Roger, Becky & Ron Cronk

Sending love to our family. Uncle Ron was a kind man.
