Ronald Stodola Obituary
Stodola, Ronald H
Passed on Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at age 69 at a local hospital. Ron was born in Pilsen, WI,
to Joseph and Dorothy Stodola. He earned an accounting degree at UW Whitewater,
worked at the IRS for many years, then started his own successful firm in Denmark, WI
where he resided with his wife and family. He was an avid hunter, bowler, trapshooter
and loyal friend. Ron will be remembered most for his strong faith and generosity. He
regularly donated to local churches and charities. He also loved spending time with his
friends and family, teaching his grandchildren to fish, playing sheepshead, taking trips
around the country, and simply sharing in wonderful conversation and laughs at a local
diner or restaurant. Ron will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
On June 8, 1974 in St. Paul, Minnesota he shared a life in marriage and love for
44 years with Nancy (Tarman) Stodola. He is survived by his 9 children and 12
grandchildren: Tim (Emily) with children Henry and Natalie; Jen (Dustin Hillman) with
child Cassie; Niki (Ron Vosika) with children Ethan, Mason, and Logan; Chris
(Mackenzie) with child Penny; Andy (Megan) with children Kaden and Peyton; Betsy
(Nick Rankin) with children Bentley and Alister; Shelly (Jared Lemon) with child Charlie;
Matt; and Josh. He is further survived by his siblings: Joseph (Peggy Novak), Rita (Ron
Christman), and Rose (Dennis Mayer). In addition, he is survived by many aunts,
uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Dorothy and Joseph
Stodola; father-in-law and mother-in-law, James and Virginia Tarman; and brother-in-law, Mark
Tarman.

TWO PLUS TWO
My name is Dave Fayram. I am an enrolled agent and my office is located in Madison. Ron and I were both members of the Wisconsin Society of Enrolled Agents. We attended the same meetings for many years. I attended the funeral service on July 29 both for me and for WSEA. I sat in the back row.
On January 9, 2009, Ron told me a story about elk hunting in Colorado. This was quite a moving story and I took the time to write it up for the WSEA newsletter. I sent the story to Ron for his review before publishing it. He responded that the story as written was accurate, but he did not want it published. I was surprised at this, but did not publish it.
When I learned of his death, I remembered that story. I took a copy with me and gave it to his son. I am sorry that I did not record the sons name, but I think he was the one who gave the eulogy. After seeing the funeral, I know something about Ron that I did not know before. I had not understood his strong religious faith.
There is a place in the story where he faced his own death. In telling the story, he said several times that someone was there to help him. I wrote it up like that, but I think now I missed something. I think the someone was a supernatural being and that the experience was a spiritual one for Ron. He seemed convinced that he would have died alone in the mud, rain and cold on that day except for Gods intervention. From then on, he must have had a strong, personal connection with a merciful God who had saved his life. Maybe he was a little bit embarrassed to have this information published in a newsletter.
In church services, there is often a moment of silent prayer. I think I know what Ron was doing during those moments and I think I know what he did every morning when he got up for those last nine years.
So long Ron, it has been good to know you!
