Ronald John Czepiel

My Sincere Sympathy to Ronnie's family. We grew up together and were classmates from the class of 1955. Ronnie's sense of humor and warm personality will be remembered and missed. May he rest with Our Lord, safe in his hands.

Ron will certainly be missed by me and the community. He was a special friend and I remember when he owned the package store and my friend Mary worked there. I would stop in and Ronnie would invite me to the back room where good friends gathered to visit and sip on blackberry brandy, especially in the winter. Recently, when I would run into him, although he couldn't see, he would always recognize my voice and had a big hug for me.

I want to offer my condolences to his family, especially to his son, who taught me alot about good jazz when I stopped into the store and Ron was usually there. I was always amazed at Ronnie's strength and good spirits in spite of his illness.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy on behalf of myself and my husband,Steve as well as for my mother (Ron's sister) and father in Florida, Beverly and Joseph Zadroga. Uncle Ronnie will be missed by us all. He was so much fun to be around and his sense of humour could always be counted on to share plenty of laughs. One I remember in particular was when he first started to notice that his belly was swelling a bit, he had the funniest thing to say about it..He said that was okay cause he was going to stick a candle in his belly button so he could read his book at night....I think of him every day...and I hope he is finally in a place where he can be with Elizabeth, finally without any more pain.
