Not sure what to say?

I believe Ron was a coach of mine in either the 7th or 8th grade. Always hate to see somebody like him pass, rest in peace

Everything I knew about coaching I learned from Ron. He was enthusiastic, kind, and an amazing teacher and coach. He let me tag along with his girls basketball team at WJH my first year and encouraged me to become a coach. He was my mentor, my friend, and my surrogate dad as I left mine in Oklahoma to start my career. The best lesson he taught me was to see the humor in my students and to laugh every day with them. I will always remember our coaching (especially track in the spring and that...

My heart is heavy as I write this, but I thank Ron for his loyalty and the beautiful friendship that he shared with my husband, Frank (Duke) for SO
many years at WJH. My deepest
sympathy and prayers to Bonnie, his children and all his family and friends. We have so many fun memories of Ron through the years of knowing and loving him. I know Duke Is there with Our God waiting to hug and greet him sharing those memories and a beer!!!
Always in our prayers,
Judy...

My deepest sympathy to Ron's family.
Ron...big man, big heart, big loss.
He brought life and laughter wherever he went.
Ron was a loving family man, a cherished friend, and a dedicated teacher.
The goodness he brought to all is everlasting.
Rest in peace, dear Ron.

My Dear Friend Ron Kroll,
We first met when we worked part-time at Plywood Minnesota in 1972. A friendship that developed into a strong kinship ensued. We played golf together for over 25 years until a back operation ended my playing days in 1998. We bowled on the same team for many years and shared many social gatherings. You often called me "mein bruder" which was appropriate because our relationship was more like family than simply friendship. Until the end of my life, I will...

Seems like just yesterday getting up at 6 A.M. on Saturday morning to golf with Ron, Dennis, Jimmy, Terry, Pops, and Mike at Gleneagles.....Working together at Plywood Minnesota after school at our part time job......The road trip to Marco in that mobile home with Steve, Dee, Ron, Bonnie, Brook and Anita......The many days of working with Ron at WJH....These are all memories that sprang to mind when I was told of Rons passing.
Anita and I offer our condolences to all the members of...

My Dear Friend Ron,

We first met in 1972 when we worked part time at Plywood Minnesota. Thus began a friendship that evolved into more of a kinship. We played golf together for over 20 years until my back operation in 1998 put an end to my playing days. We bowled on the same team for many years. We shared many social gatherings. You often called me "mein bruder" which was appropriate because you and yours felt more like family to us than simply friends. For as long as I live,...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
