Dr. Ronald Kanzulak

Wow. Many of my fondest memories of Conrady involved Mr. K. Office aide fun times while he was principal and impromtu pizza party, free throw contests with him in the gym, coming back and helping coach the volleyball teams and visiting with him, tennis stories of him at the club meeting my mom, the humor and sarcasm that I enjoyed and always looked forward to from him. You will be missed Mr. K! Look up my mom and ask her to play tennis up there, okay? Give her a few pointers, would ya?!

Coach - You were a true inspiration to many of us, especially me. I can still remember you pressing your lips together with the most serious angry look on your face. It was normally because I forgot to box out Drago when Pringle was flinging 3's from the arch.
You were a great leader, mentor, and Coach....on and off the court. You will be truely missed and never forgotten. And as Deiner mentioned...OUR BANNERS WILL HANG IN THAT GYM FOR EVER!! WE will always be the Conrady Dream Team and...

I LEARNED ALOT FROM COACH K. AS A BASKETBALL PLAYER AND AS A PERSON. I'M REALLY SADDENED BY THE BAD NEWS. ITS BEEN 22 YEARS SINCE I LAST SAW RON AND I REMEMBER HIM LIKE IF IT WAS YESTERDAY, THATS HOW MUCH INFLUENCE HE HAD ON MY LIFE. OUR BASKETBALL TEAM WERE CHAMPS IN 87-88 AND 88-89 AT CONRADY JR. HIGH, I'LL NEVER FORGET HIS WORDS "BOYS THOSE CHAMPIONSHIP BANNERS WILL HANG UP THERE FOREVER, YOU CAN COME HERE 20 YEARS LATER AND YOU CAN LOOK UP AND SEE THOSE BANNERS". THOSE WORDS I HAVE NOT...

Our deepest condolence to the entire Kanzulak family.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Ron's children and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May Ron rest in peace.

Hearing of Ron's parting has brought memories of a high school friend that only had kind words for me. My prayers for his family and those whom he touched deeply like myself. After so many years I still remember that funny smile and look when I had problems. He always had words of encouragement.

I worked with Ron at the Oaks. I have never met anyone who had such a positive out look on life. I will miss his humor, kindness, and most of all...his friendship.

RIP, Mr. K. You were a tough basketball coach that taught us how discipline and hard work pays off. Conrady Jaguars, undefeated 1984-85.

To the family of Ron and on behalf of the Mendel Alumni Association, please accept our heartfelt condolences on your loss. May God keep him near and bless his family in this time of sadness.
