Ronald Baniel Obituary
He was born on January 30, 1942 in Jersey City, NJ. He was a High School Graduate and served in the United States Army. He could literally do anything and was a jack of all trades. He was a courier, a salesman, a carpenter, a handyman, and always a very hard worker. He accomplished anything he put his mind to. He lived most of his life in NJ and FL, and retired in AL.
Ronald enjoyed watching sports, especially Nascar, doing handy-work, and being with his family. He was very spiritual and would often visualize himself with Jesus sitting on a log. He was a wise, loving, and caring father. He enjoyed sharing his life experiences with others in hopes to help influence their life in a positive direction. Ron was a tough and honest man, who believed in giving you the truth regardless of the circumstances. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and friend, and will be greatly missed by all.
Ronald is survived by his wife Linda of twenty-two years, his four children, Billy, Jody, Stacey, and Jeremy, daughter-in-law Beth, and his three grandchildren Sadie, William, and Blake. Ronald is joining his parents Mary and John Peplowski, and his sister Lillian Marzialle.
Arrangements have been made with Moss Service Funeral Home. A service is being held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. A Memorial will also be held in Florida for Ronald where he will lay at his final resting place.

Dear Ron,
Although our time together in this life was short, I am truly blessed to have known you. This past year, I have come to know the amazing husband, father, grandfather, and friend that you were. You touched so many lives in a spiritual and powerful way. You would be so proud to know that all of the life lessons that you passed on to your children remain at the forefront of their daily lives. Thanks to them, I have had the pleasure of learning from you as well. You may not have been here physically for all of this years many blessings but I know that you were there in spirit every step of the way. Your legacy will forever live on through your family. I am so proud to be a part of this amazing family that you helped to create and even more so, I am so blessed and proud to call you my father-in-law. May you rest in peace and continue to be the guardian angel you have always been.
With Love,
Amber

Ron;
It is hard to believe a year has come and gone without you in my life! I miss you every day, realizing just how blessed we were to have you in all our lives for only a few short decades. You absolutely touched the heart and soul of every single being you came into contact with during your life in a very powerful way. Now, that you are not here with us I can still feel you touching our lives just as powerfully, your spirit so strong in life is so much stronger celestially. Your profound wisdom was one of your many gifts, your helping nature completely unselfish, and your love was unwavering and strong regardless of the circumstances. Our family is strong because of you, and each generation will be stronger for the unconditional love, committment, values and traditions we share together. We will all honor your memory always, and I will meet you again sweetie, just wait for me and dfym. All my Love, Always, Eternally,
Linda

I'll always be your little girl

Dad,
Time doesn't heal all wounds. There isn't going to be a day when I'll no longer miss you. Your little girl doesn't want to go on without you. It hurts to know that the time we had together wasn't long enough, all the time in the world still wouldn't be enough time for me. I need you here. I don't know life without a father. I thank God for sending you to our family all those years ago. I know we were hand- picked for each other. I had endured things no child should have to go through and you were a man in need of a family. I needed a man that would make me feel safe again, a man that would protect me, a man that would show me I could trust again, a man that would support me through anything, a man that would love me unconditionally, all the things a father should be to his daughter and then God sent me you. My hero, my Angel. You were and always will be the only Dad I have ever had. And I'll never forget you telling me how proud you were of me for how much I have grown as a person. You promised me you weren't going anywhere. As much as that hurts, I know in my heart that you are still my Angel just God called you back to be one of his Angels. It pains me so much to know that you won't walk me down the aisle one day, give me away, dance with me at my wedding like we did at yours and moms, see me have my own babies. I'll miss having you in my life for ALL the moments, even the small ones. I won't ever say good-bye to you, because I know I will see you again. And until then you live on in my heart, my spirit, and my faith. So much of me is you. I love you Dad, so much.
Love, Your little girl

May you RIP. Your family will miss you but keep in their hearts all the great memories that were created together as a family. Linda may you know that you have a amazing family and your children are really the best. I hope you can spend some time here with your children and maybe live a few months here before you have to return home. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you

Ron,
You will never be forgotten...You were the hardest loss that has ever happened to me. I will never forget the talk we had during Stacey's show when we went and got brazilian pizza (I know, we were confused) how you trusted me and confided in me, but the biggest thing that touched my heart was when you told me that I was an amazing guy and you would be honored for me to marry your daughter. This has been a hard pill to swallow because you won't be here to dance with your little girl, and that hurts but I know your in a better place and we will see you one day and my girl, your little girl will have that dance. I promise you that I will love her and adore her like you have...

Ron was my good friend and someone we could always count on for help. When we could not find a house painter, he painted our house....including the part he had to do from a 38 foot ladder. When my parents passed; he was there - giving us support and spiritual encouragement. We didn't have to ask....he was always there. We will miss him terribly; but know he is in a better place. He was a witnessing Christian. He was certain of his faith and shared it with everyone he met. No one was more outgoing and expressive about how he loved his family, friends and even new acquaintances than Ron. May God bless Linda and his family. Jim and Alex Cox

We were so saddenned to hear of Ron's passing in December. We enjoyed him so much in our Marriage Encounter Group in South Florida and we will truly miss him. He was always upbeat and we enjoyed his company. It was wonderful that we were able to see him in Wellington in August at the Bonefish Grill. He was always upbeat and witty. Our prayers are with you.

Ron was and will always be the "Man of my Dreams". He was truely a gift from God for our family, he needed a family and we needed a Dad and I a husband. I told him from the beginning of our lives together that we just "fit". I will always treasure the time we had together, he taught me so much about true faith. His faith and wisdom grew stronger with every year we were together, which now seems way too short! Ron alway said we were soul mates, kindred spirits and I know we will be together again. I love you, baby.

Although we only knew Ron for a short time, he made you feel like he knew you forever. Very outgoing and giving. We really enjoyed his company and he will forever be in our prayers, as well as Linda and his family.
We miss you Ron,

When my Dad came into my life I was only nine years old. Unfortunately, up until this age I did not have a good father figure in my life, so I was skeptical of this man who I first saw with his arm around my Mom. My skepticism did not last long at all before I saw how much my Dad cared for and loved my Mom, brothers, sister, and I. He taught me so many valuable life lessons by sharing his words and viewing his actions. When I was young I did not always notice the value in what he was teaching me, but as I grew, I always found myself guided by him. I can not thank my Dad enough for his love, words of wisdom, encouragement, and support in all that I did. I most certainly would not be the man that I am today if it were not for him. I hope that I can be as good of a Dad to my son as he was to me. I truly believe that he was an angel sent from heaven specifically for my family. I will continue to thank God everyday for blessing my family with such an angel. Now our angel rests in heaven and watches over us and will live forever in our hearts, memories, and his legacy will continue to live on through us and our children. I love you Dad. Love Always, Your Son, Billy Szatkiewicz.

Linda, I cannot tell you how sad I am about Ron's death. I feel privileged to have known him and I enjoyed working with him, even though it was for a short time. The photos are beautiful - what a handsome couple. I cannot come to the services as I am still not emotionally healthy, but trust me, friends help. I will be in touch with you. Love, Ann Bates
