Ronald J. Bender

How glad we were to have the great pleasure to be with Ron on his trips to Minnesota in the past few years. Uncle Harold and I were so pleased. It was so good to bring your Mom back to her little home town for burial, next to here brothers Dennis and Harold. God bless you Ron.

I met Ron just once, and I still remember the place and time. He had that kind of personality. He will forever be remembered as one of "Minneapolis's Finest."

The Bender Family,

Ronnie and I go back many, many years spending time together playing sports, street games and just hanging. Ronnie and I joined the MPD and went to rookie school together (I picked him up every morning). A hell of an athlete. I wish we would have connected in these later years.....we would have had a blast!! Ronnie is now in the hands of God, showing off that huge smile....Bless the Bender Family.

I grew up with Ronnie on the "infamous northside: of Minneapolis. He was just the best kid ever. I am so sorry to hear that he lost his battle here on earth. There was never a smile quite as bright and sincere. I am sorry for the loss to his family.

Marilyn,
I love you and will be there for you. I know the pain you feel, each day it will get better and not as tough to get up in the morning.
Love you soooo much
Mom

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