Ronald J. Norway, 86, passed away peacefully on October 11, 2025. Born July 20, 1939, in Chicago.
Ron was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 50 years, Sharon, who passed away in 2014. He was a devoted father to his three children, Ron (Barb), the late Randy (and his late wife Jenny), and Cheri, and a proud grandfather of five grandchildren - Lindsey (Jack), Jeremy (Sandra), Ryan, Randal, and Paulie - as well as a great-grandfather to Ben, who brought him endless joy.
Ron dedicated his career to public service, retiring as a Chicago Park District Supervisor after 28 years and later serving with the Chicago Police Department for 10½ years. In 1992, he made history as the oldest recruit in the department at the age of 52.
