Dearest Annamarie. Michaeleen and I were deeply sadened when we received your call that Ron had passed away.
Ron was a wonderful friend that I have had the pleasure of knowing since our days at Continental Bank in the mid 1970s. He and I were on the same programming team for a couple of years. He helped me through the technical challenges of the Assembler programming language. We then transfered around the same time to work for Harold Firtik and Harry Sakalares on the Compumetrics team. During that time I fell ill with minears disease and through Ron's generous heart and compassion, he would drive me all the way home from Chicago to Crete Illinois. I would get real dizzy and get sick to my stomach, but that didn't stop Ron's kindness, he managed to put a bucket between my legs ready for me to get sick. I was always a pretty picky eater and one time (only) ordered a hamburger at a Chinese resturant where Ronny Young's uncle worked. Ron, Harry, Ronny and Ronny's uncle teased me so much that I eventually learned to eat Chinese food. Ron was also instrumental in getting me to eat Greek and Mexican food. Ron knew the neatest little authentica Mexican resturant in Chicago. It was a small grocery store in the front of the building and a Mexican resturant in the back. We would generally go out to eat each day. One of our favorite places to eat was Connie's pizza. There was an adoreable lady with redish hair there named Rosy who would sing to people on their birthdays. You can bet that we would always go there on our birthdays and every Friday. Hanging around with Ron always made work a fun place to be. We would also go out as couples and always had the best of times with Ron and Annamarie. I know Ron is looking at us from Heaven and will be waiting to welcome us when we arrive.
God Blessed Ron and Annamarie with a wonderful life and will continue to watch over them.

Annamarie and family,
We were saddened to hear of Ron's passing. He was always a joy to have as a patient and everyone in the office would look forward to seeing him at appointment time. A genuinely warm and wonderful person.
With sympathy,
Dr. and Mrs. J. Bergschneider

I first met Ron in 1960. He was my Company Commander in ROTC. We became friends through a mutual friend, Harold Sakalares. The three of us became close friends working part time as banquet waiters at the Conrad Hilton in Chicago. I later was part of his wedding party and have many fond memories of our many long years of friendship. Ron was an easy going guy; I never saw him get angry about anything and was just a big gentle giant. He was a treasured friend and is going to be greatly missed.

Ronald's story and mine come together in 1968. We were young men with beautiful wives and we lived in new apartments in Bridgeview Illinois. We worked for the same company and rode to work in Ron's car. He was a good early morning talker. We shared advice on buying our first homes, and on being new fathers and our lives were blessed by our friendship. The last time I saw Ronald and Annamarie was at a farewell party they hosted .God bless you now and forever. Joyce and Robert Bennett
