Ronald Piontkowski Obituary

Ronald J. Piontkowski, 81, of Greendale, was reunited with his wife, Barbara, on Monday, November 11, 2024. He was born on August 24, 1943, to the late Frank and Marie. Ronald devoted over 30 years of his career to Rockwell Automation, where he not only made significant contributions but also forged lasting friendships. Those who knew Ronald remember him for his infectious sense of humor, often highlighted by his silly jokes and stories.

Ronald was the loving father to his three children: Cheryl (John), Dawn, and Jeffrey (Mary). He is also survived by his special sister-in-law Nancy, as well as brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces.

Ronald was preceded in death by his wife, with whom he shared 41 wonderful years before her passing in 2007. Their enduring love was an inspiration to many, and her memory continued to be a guiding light for him.

 Visitation at the MAX A. SASS & SONS GREENRIDGE CHAPEL (4747 60th St. Greenfield) on Monday, November 18, 2024, from 9:30 AM until the time of service at 11:00 AM. Burial will take place in Chapel Hill Cemetery, Greendale.
