Ronald Joseph Podnar

Fifty years ago when we landed on the moon I was fishing with my then brother in law Ron. I was only thirteen years old. I remember that day well. Thought I would google Ron and found out that he had passed. So sad to read his obituary. I have fond memories of him and know that he lives through us in our memories. It sound like he had a fulfilled life doing what he loved and surrounded by those who cared. My sincere condolences to Kathy and family.

Ron was my best friend in Madison. Am always remembering the trip we took in our sophomore year to Florida and the Bahamas. God bless him and I will never forget that infectious laugh ! I would love to meet you , Kathy, as I did not know he had married. Knowing Ron, you must be something special.

Ron and I lost touch but the memories are vivid. Having not heard from him, I went on line tonight and am very saddened to hear of his passing.

Kathy-
I'm sorry I was out of state and did not hear of Ron's passing for some time. His lighthearted laugh cheered us all at work. I made a donation in his memory to the Lawyer's Campaign for Equal Justice His passing saddens me greatly. I hope you are eased by your many wonderful memories together.

Kathy,my thoughts and prayers go out to you. I didn't know Ron, but I know you. He must have been a great guy!

Kathy;
I'm so glad that I was able to get to know Ron even a little bit, because he was so special. I know that he will always be with you in spirit. Hang in there, cousin, and call me anytime.

Kathy, you know that my heart has gone out to you with the loss of Ron. He was a special person. He had a great sense of humor, and could always tell a good story. I always loved to hear your stories about the fishing trips and the places that you two stayed. I know that life will be different for you now, but you have many wonderful memories. You were lucky to have shared a large part of your life with such a great guy!

Kathy, Karl and I are incredibly saddened by Ron's death. He had such a charming way and easy smile. He just looked lit from within when he grinned. Our hearts go out to you.
