I had Mr. Stoeckig for 6th grade. He was a great teacher! I remember his laugh and sense of humor. I never heard a teacher laugh or tell jokes before. I remember having a crush on him from that moment on. My thoughts go out to his life partner, family and friends.

Mr Stoeckig was my 8th grade teacher at Shields in 1979. He was an amazing teacher and always encouraged me to be the best student and person I could be. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Rest in Peace <3

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Ron. I had the pleasure of working with Ron for several years before he retired. At the end of the school year, Ron always planned a field trip on the Wendella Boat Tour on Lake Michigan. I have no idea how long ago he started this tradition, but when he retired the responsibility was passed on to me (the newest teacher to join the 6th grade team). I have kept this tradition going since Ron retired. It is a favorite field trip among the students and I hope to continue what Ron started for many more years. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ron will be greatly missed.

Ron was a purely good man. I wish there were more like him. In the few times we've been lucky enough to be around him, he was always smiling. Everyone who knew him will miss him.

I worked with Ron for a number of years. He was one of the nicest people I knew, with a great sense of humor. I will always picture him in his white shirt, sleeves rolled up slightly and always the tie. He made a difference in so many students' lives, and will be missed.

Dear Doug,
I will miss sharing a bridge table with Ron. He was smart and funny. I am sorry I can't be there to say goodbye. My deepest sympathy and condolences.

My husband and I had the pleasure to know Ron through the antique business. He was such a kind and gentle man. I will miss his warm hugs and million dollar smile. He was like a favorite uncle. Even though we were only friends for a short time, our hearts are heavy over his loss. We pray for him and his family, especially our dear friend Doug. We know that he is in heaven now but we will miss him so much. With all of our love and prayers, Patty & Ron

I will certainly miss his wonderful smile and the delicious meals that he could prepare with absolutely nothing in the refrigerator to start with.

I'll miss playing cards with you, even though you beat me every time! May God bless you, your family, and of course Doug.

July 7, 2013

There are so many things I will miss about Ron. His patience, his strength, his love for mankind, his willingness to help in any and all things. I will miss his support, his infectious laughter, as well as his love for my brother as well as family members. Rest in peace. We will miss you dearly.
