Ronald Walter Park

I first met Ron and Sarah in 1995 when Sarah's sister Susan recommended me as a financial advisor to the family. Ron and Sarah quicly became both clients and beloved friends. When Sarah died in 2004, Ron said that his primary goal for the remainder of his life was to make certain that his "girls" were taken care of. He fulfilled that promise. Although I reside in the Phoenix area, I spoke with Ron just about every week about politics, religion and many other timely topics. I also met with...

Ron was not a flashy guy, but of a man of integrity and humility and as his obituary notes, a man who loved his family immensely.

Ronald Park was a much beloved brother. We will miss him greatly. This message is from his sisters Grace Park and Dena Ward; his niece Denise Porter; his nephew Dell Ward and wife Julie; his great-nephews Jonathan Ward and wife Kaethe and children, and Trenton Ward; his great nieces Amber Banish and husband Jason, and Lauren Ward

To Monica who is the Office Manager for Redmond Historical Society in Redmond, Wa. we extend our sincere condolences to you and your family..... Christine Himes, Pres.

God Bless Ron and family

Valerie and Monica,

It doesn't seem that long ago that Tom and I were invited over by your dear parents for dinner and you two and we had so much fun and conversation! That was when you two were in elementary school!Remembering the times at Mackinaw Island, pictures on the porch at the Grand Hotel with you and your family bring back wonderful memories. We spoke recently with your dad and found out all the recent goings on in your lives. Remember our dinner at Gratzi in Ann Arbor? ...

I was a friend of Ron Park for 45 years and never met a more decent man. We were bachelor roommates in Detroit, where I met my late wife, Barbara. On her first visit to our grungy apartment, she immediately announced that it badly needed a “deep clean,” and proceeded to apply one. “Deep clean” became part of Ron’s vocabulary ever after.
Ron was a best man at my wedding in Wayne, Mich. We both ended up in Washington, D.C. When Ron married his wonderful Sarah, I drove them from the...

Monica and Valerie, I'm thinking of you both. Sarah and the two of you were truly the lights of Ron's life, and the center of his world. As you know, I've missed Sarah terribly, and think of her so often...and it does make me glad to know they are together again. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with. Thinking of you both, with love...

I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Park when he visited Valerie in Atlanta, and I was drawn to his kindness and his love for his family. Val and Monica, you are in my thoughts and in my heart, and I care very much about both of you. I know how important your father was to you and how thoughtfully and deeply you have loved him throughout his life. Godspeed Mr. Park!
