RONALD R. BEITLE

We played in many bands from high school on. He would crack a cymbal every time we played. He also had a habit of nailing his base drum to the gym floor! We had many great times and he even saved my life once.

My heart is so sad I just learned of Ron's passing. I worked at Jergels in the north hills and spent many years enjoying Ron's talent and zest for life. He will be missed while he plays with the big band in the sky.

I am very sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. He and I worked together at Consolidated Coal Company in the mailroom in 1975. I remember that he came in to work one day very excited about a local band that had asked him to join as the drummer. he asked me to come and watch them play in a basement bar near Mellon Square. they were good. The name was Wild Cherry. I left Consol shortly thereafter to go back to college and several months later "Play that funky music white boy" zoomed to the top of the charts. I was very proud of Ronnie and his success. I am so sorry for your loss. Spencer G. Markle

My condolences to you Karyn and your sons. I remember Ron coming into our work. He was always so approachable and willing to talk to me about music. It was quite an honor to have had the opportunity to play his drums a couple of times with the house band he had at the time. Peace and comfort to you during this difficult time.

Ron, you brought joy into the lives of much of the world with your passion and love for your music. Thank you. May you rest well, and may your family find comfort in knowing that you were loved by many, and you helped make the world a better place.

May God Bless you in your time of sorrow.Its been so long since I have seen you Ron and thank you for keeping in touch with my mom and dad and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Rest In Peace Ronnie,even though we have not seen each other for a long time I always remember you as a friend.Rest in peace hope too see you on the other side.

Ron possessed so many gifts - a loving father and husband, kind, caring, generous, witty, passionate about life along with being a musician extraordinaire. He will be so truly missed. A great musical celebration in heaven for sure!

My thoughts and Prayers are with your family. A great guy, taken too soon...

Great memories of Ron and playing in Billy's Bandits a long time ago, and recently with the Sweet Breeze reunion, great drummer. Very sad to lose you way too early. We'll miss you till we see you again and make music together. Deepest sympathy to all the family, I will keep you in my prayers.

May you rip Ronnie with your loving brother Vince Carricato who loved you very much and you loved him. I know he was there to greet you!

I will miss you my friend

A Great Musician who life was cut to short. Gerard Sokol, Carole' s Son.

Been a long time ago that me and Ron would walk from my house on Dorseyville road to his house in Parkview with my guitar and his snare drum to rehearse with Joe Dibenedatto and his accordion in our first band. We were around 13 years old. We played 96 Tears over and over.

Ron was a beautiful person and a fabulous musician. I consider it one of the chief milestones of my career to have recorded just one song with him playing the drums. That was a tremendous honor. May he rest in Peace and Light Eternal, until we meet again on that Beautiful Shore and join together in that Angel Band

RIP my friend- I hope your best friend Tim meets you at the gates. It would only be fitting. Way too soon to leave your family, and friends.
Bob Urso

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow
