Ron was born Nov. 20, 1938, to John and Monica (Bauer) Sadlowsky in Avon. His family moved to Pickstown, South Dakota, and St. Paul before returning to Avon. After graduating from St. Cloud Tech High School in 1956, Ron joined the U.S. Air Force. He was stationed at Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Michigan. Following an honorable discharge, he returned to Avon where he married his high school sweetheart, Mary Ludwig, Oct. 6, 1962, at the Church of St. Benedict.
Ron worked as a machinist most of his working career at DeZURIK, Inc. in Sartell. Many knew him as a wedding photographer, a hobby he enjoyed for decades. Ron was active at the Church of St. Benedict and a member of Waite Park American Legion Post 428. He enjoyed fishing and was an avid sports fan. He enjoyed sports of all kinds, but was "addicted" to St. John's Johnnies football. More than anything, Ron was a loving husband, father and grandfather.
Ron is survived by his wife, Mary; children Lisa Sadlowsky of Eden Prairie, Dave (Jill) Sadlowsky of Aitkin and Stacy (Dave) Windsperger of Ottertail; and grandchildren, John and Jacob Pappas and Sam and Bennett Sadlowsky.
He is preceded in death by his parents.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Williams Dingmann Family Funeral Home in Avon.
