Ronald Sovik Obituary
Age 66, passed away on Jan. 28, 2013. Born Jan. 21, 1947, in Youngstown, Ohio to the late Elmer and Bernice (Noga) Sovik, Ron was the oldest of five children. He was a 1965 graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School, and a 1969 graduate of Youngstown State University, where he served as President of Theta Chi Fraternity. Ron was the owner and President of Sovik & Associates, Inc. An avid golfer and founding member of Glenmoor Country Club, Ron could be found on the golf course as often as the weather permitted. He will forever be remembered as a kind and generous person who was devoted to his family and friends.
Ron is survived by his daughters, Melissa, Tiffany and Haley Sovik; brothers, Robert (Kathy) Sovik and Raymond (Cindy) Sovik; sisters, Regina (Michael) Roell and Renee (Wes) Sima; and, most importantly, his faithful canine companions, Zoey and Kiwi.
A memorial service will be held at the Paquelet Funeral Home on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, at 12 p.m., with Father James McKarns officiating. The family will receive friends beginning at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers, a gift may be made to the "Ron Sovik Memorial Fund" at any Key Bank location to assist the family with expenses.

To the family: My heartfelt condolences for the loss of a great man. Summer evenings on the range will never be the same; I was fortunate to call Ron a friend and had many great conversations with him on the Glenmoor range. I will miss him greatly. May God comfort all of you during this time.

Dear Renee and family:
I'm so shocked and saddened to hear of Ron's sudden passing. He was such a kind and gentle person.
I have so many great memories, including the day he introduced me to Jack Nicklaus. Ron was a true friend.

Dear Melissa, Tiffany, and Haley; you have our deepest sympathy, love, and prayers. Your father was a dear friend of ours and he will be missed. He knew how much I loved your puppies and no matter how fast he was traveling in his golf cart, with Zoey, he would stop for me so I could make over them. He left behind three beautiful daughters but you can rest assured, he was loved and will be missed!
