Ronald F. Sveden

Hi Dad, I've been thinking about you lately...and....I miss you! ALOT! Mom's doing great...she's really amazing. Strong, and living life to its fullest....and absolutely as whacky as ever! It's a bit of a challenge getting her to slow down these days without you keeping an eye on her and "mellowing" her a bit...but she knows you're there just the same....keeping her safe and watching over her. Mart, Tom, Robert, Tizita, Sue, Emily, Abbie and I were all down on the Cape last weekend to celebrate her 75th Bday! I think she enjoyed having just her kids and grandkids to herself, she seemed really happy! We're all doing well dad, and life is good....but we still miss you. I love you!

Nancy, just heard about the passing of Ron from Nancy Hutchinson. We had one of the best neighborhoods in Duxbury and have many fond memories. God bless you, Erik & Marta and families.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Ron.. MR FA-HOO as our little one always called him. We all built our first houses at the same time, and it does not seem as though all this time has passed. The photos brought back so many wonderful memories. Wish we had known as we were in Plymouth during the last of Sept and the first 2 weeks of October. We were so close, but yet so far away. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to you Nancy and to your family. May you always be blessed with wonderful memories. Nancy and Bruce Hutchinson, Ocala, Fl

Sveden Family
My condolences.
I had "Mr Sveden" in the 8 th grade at Wellesley Junior High. As i wrote this I remembered when a window fell upon me (due to construction) and my arm and fingers were bvadly cut.
He grabbed me and lead me to the nurse without much comment or fanfare.
I have the opportunity to see him at the fish store many years later.
A lovely man. A great teacher!

Hi Nancy! Roland & I watched the slide show with amazement and teary eyes. What a wonderful thing for everyone to view! It's amazing how computers can be used these days. Roland says, "Ron was the funniest and nicest guy he ever met, and will miss his cooking!" God bless you and your family.
Roland goes home on Thursday (10-27). I'm making pies for tomarrow evening. (pie & coffee or beer & cheese)

Hi Nancy! It's Sat. and Fred and I went to the movies tonight ---- i.e. we saw the video of Ron's life and then his slide show. What treasures of a happy, happy life. I especially love photo of his carving, also one of his clowning with rabbit ears and of course his always present contagious smile. You were an A+ wife through thick and thin, and his love for you shows thru in every photo. God bless you both. Peace and love, Granthia

I had Ron for Science in Junior High School. He was one of those teachers you remember for the rest of your life. His approach to teaching science was new and exciting to me, it never occurred to me that science could be interesting. I remember he explained how bubbles were made, it was as concept I had never thought of before, I mean, bubbles were just bubbles, weren't they? And, of course I was charmed by his blue, blue eyes and his charming personality; and his hair and his voice..tailor made for a teenage crush. But, he also knew my Mom and Dad, through the Poors, so he was kind of old for me.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all his family and friends who will miss him so much.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you, Nancy.

Praying the Lord will comfort you with His peace, surround you with His love and encourage with His presence. Love and prayers.

We send our condolences to Nancy and family. Ron leaves us with cherished memories.
I (Heidi) will always remember our laughs in the theaters and at the fish market.
Heidi and Charlie Jennings

I remember the first time I met you, I said "I love your husband" and you replied "So do I!" He will be so missed. We are too young to be widows Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Love, Jan McGinley

Nancy and family, my love and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Deepest sympathies from Zoe and the rest of the Konstantino family.

Rich and I were saddened to hear about Ron's death and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We were glad that we were able to visit with you and Ron a couple of years ago at Uncle Jim's 100th birthday celebration. We will always remember Ron's quick wit.

God Bless,
Rich & Linda Frame

We had no idea that Ron was a Renaissance Man with many interests and achievements in his life. Although we met him once at Marta and Tom's wedding, we never forgot his warmth and sense of humor. May your many happy memories help to sustain you and know that he touched many lives.

Love, Sara, Mel, David, and Seth (Tom's aunt, uncle, and cousins)

We send our love to all of you and are thinking of you. Uncle Ronnie and I used to call each other Sherlock and Watson and I can't remember even how it started but I loved it whenever we said it. You were one of the most genuine and loving persons I have ever known and I will miss you. Such a wonderful life to celebrate.

We send love and hugs to Nancy, Erik, Marta and their families. We'll miss Uncle Ron, and we'll never forget the great dinner we had with him and Nancy at Ffiona's in London. So many laughs and good memories!

As I was sitting in my dad's chair the night he passed away, reflecting on fond memories, I read this note from a Facebook entry my daughter Emily had posted...."Sometimes bad things are a blessing in disguise. Moving was hard, but now I understand the reasons for it. I love you Boodie (nickname the kids called my dad).....rest in peace."

Just about a year ago, we found out we had to move and leave our wonderful friends in Central NY. Moving was NOT something we wanted to do. A year later....being close by for my dad's final days, and to support my mom has been just one of the many blessings surrounding my dad's passing.

Dad...we will miss you, but as Jenny Frame said..."now you can breathe easy." I know you'd want us to celebrate your life and laugh about the best of times, and that's what we will do. I promise I'll take care of mom, and I'll do my best to make you proud. I love you.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathies at this difficult time.
