My deepest, and heart felt sympathy to the ENTIRE Tschida Family.
I have known Ron since I was a small child, through my Uncle John O'Connor.
Used to watch Ron play football for Monroe, and the various softball teams that he played for. He was an Outstanding athlete.
When I grew older, Ron and I would talk about the good old times. A first class individual, and a finer Gentleman.
Ron may You, and all the souls of the faithfully departed REST IN PEACE.
To the Tschida Family, may God's healing, and comforting hand reach out and comfort one, and all.
Ron, say hi to my Uncle John, and You guys stay out of trouble. Peace to all.

The biggest and most important thing that Ronny gave to me...Ronny was the guy who always showed up. With a boat. Taking us kids fishing. Taking us water skiing. Hours and hours of towing us around the lake. Everyday on every vacation. As an adult, I realized in order to make this stuff happen for kids some adult has to step up. Ronny inspired me to be that guy who buys the boat and shows up to teach kids how to fish, take them skiing and tubing. Fondest memories.
