I met Ron just a few times, through Connie. Although he missed his late wife deeply, he kept moving forward with his life. He had a sense of adventure and frequently travelled to Poland. I was at first impressed with his great height but then became impressed with his personality and wit and also with his great love and devotion to his family. Take care up there.

Ron was "The Man". I knew him for only about few years, but he grabbed life by the horns. Whether is was representing the greatest generation at the blues open jam, tipping some piwo at a festival or planning and re-living his visits to "the Homeland" he was enjoying himself and others and plotting his next adventure.
Ron had strong traditional values and an intense love for his family. I know he will be missed but we can find some comfort thinking about what a wonderful Christmas present his reunion with Janie was, who he missed so much.
Keep an eye on everyone Ron. I was lucky to have known you.

I write this to all of you to express how deeply sorrow I am about Ronnie passing away. As we grow more mature (i.e., old), we realize how precious life truly is. But feelings and memories can be just as precious as life itself.
I have so many fond memories thinking back to the 60s and 70s of Ronnie and Janie. My parents enjoyed going to your house on Grant Street so much. I remember the laughter coming from the entire house - kitchen where the ladies hung out; living room where you had your Mexican decor; the dinning room when card games were played.
Ronnie and Janie always welcomed us with a smile. And they seemed always so calm when we’d play the music behind the stairs - or crank it in the bedrooms upstairs.
I think back to wonderful memories of Siki Hall (my memories here are fading, though). Seeing the tall Ronnie dancing with his less-than tall wife. The kids running all around in and outside and playing the juke box or pool.
How blessed I was when he spent the night at my house two years ago after the Polish beer drinking party. And, to see his smiling face at Josh's graduation party this summer.
Yes, it’s these memories of sharing my family with your family. Ronnie was a part of my life and I’m so very sad he passed away. I was fortunate enough to tell him how I felt about him.

I heard the late Pope John Paul from Poland wanted to surround himself with good Polish people and because the "Polish Prince" was challenged here on Earth, he called him to Heaven to add a lot of personality that had been somewhat lacking before his arrival.
Our deepest sympathies to those left behind for a while. May you remember and celebrate Ron's good life and know you will be with him again one day.
The Haertel's will pray for Ron and his family and hope he will hang with our Dad for a good card game and to cheer on the Packers.
Okrzyki! Na Zdrowie! (Cheers! Prosit!)
BEVERLY BLAKE

Connie, Diana & Mike…
My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dad.
Uncle Ron was too cool … hand delivering white netting and paper wedding bells to a cousin in Poland --- and attempting to deliver furniture polish to Wroclaw while taking in stride the fact that it dumped all over the clothes in his suitcase. His humor and wit will truly be missed and his passing will be felt from here to Poland. I can only conclude that there must have been a big Pulaski Hall Christmas reunion happening in heaven and God took away Uncle Ron’s suffering so he could attend. My prayers continue to be with you…
Love… your cuz………. Jan.
