RONALD J. MASANEK

Coach Masanek was a great coach and history teacher ! My condolences to his family ! He will be missed ! Regards Cabel

There will be many stories about Ron and all he has done for us! The positive impact he had on so many young men. Yes, he taught us how to wrestle, how to own our mistakes, to work hard, to overcome weakness and pain! To live by the 5 P's to be successful. He taught us how to become Men! How to build a strong foundation and survive. Ron, will never be forgotten. He lives through all of us now and through our children.. Traditions do not die! Thank you and your family for sharing this...

Life is certainly strange, I just found my old FHA wrestling T shirt the other day and was thinking of Coach Masanek. I was a small part of the Fairfield Sr Hi wrestling team for a few years back between 69-72. I fondly remember Coach seeing us in the halls at school, hollering our name, and then telling us to get into our "stance" or during practice, having us chase the lightweights around the gym until we caught them! He was a great coach, teacher and human. My condolences to all his...

Steffi and family, So sad to hear about Ron's passing. Ron and I were friends and teammates at both Parma High and Miami. His love for you and the girls was the top priority. Wrestling was great and he was a great coach but he always spoke about you first when I would see him. A good friend will be missed and bless you. Rich Fleming

Mr. Masanek was my history teacher when I was in high school. He really made his class interesting and fun. He is one of the main reasons I am a history buff to this day. One of the best teachers I ever had. (Class of 78) Rest in peace sir, and thank you for all you have done for me and this community. My condolences to the family.
