Ronald Houska Obituary
St. Johns, MI
12/3/38 - 12/24/14
Tool and die maker at Diamond Reo and the State of Michigan. Dad enjoyed many years of retirement in Florida. He will always be remembered by his family and all who knew him for his sharp sense of humor, kindness, and creativity.
Survived by his three daughters: Rhonda (Roger) Riebow, Cindi (Doug) England, and Michelle (Wayne) Shirey, and six grandchildren: Jessica, Jennifer, Jacob, Evan, Stephen and Maddy.
Dad's family is so very grateful for the loving and competent care given to him by all the staff at Hazel I. Findlay Country Manor and Hospice Advantage. Everyone worked together to make Dad's last months' enjoyable and comfortable. A private gathering to celebrate his life is planned for a later date. Arrangements by Estes-Leadley Funeral Home Greater Lansing Chapel.
