Ronald W. Bartnicki
GRIFFITH, IN - Ronald W. Bartnicki, age 79 of Griffith, passed away on Sunday, May 23, 2021. He is survived by his children: Dan (Anna) Bartnicki and Karyn (Phil) Gross; grandchildren: Aidan, Leah, Kevin and Addison; sister, Patricia Bartnicki. Preceded in death by Judith Bartnicki (wife) and Bruce Bartnicki (brother).
Wake will be held Thursday, May 27, 2021 at White Funeral Home, 921 W. 45th, Griffith from 6 to 8:00 p.m. Memorial Mass will be held on Friday, May 28, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 525 N. Broad St., Griffith.
Ronald was born in Michigan City. He graduated from Marquette High School in 1959. He was educated at St. Meinrad and obtained a master's degree from Purdue in Social Work. He served as a Federal Probation and Parole officer until he retired in 1997.
He spent his retirement years very active at St. Mary's Church. He served as Head Usher, President of the Men's Club, and was involved in Family Services. He was the President of Griffith's EMS Board. He enjoyed his weekly Bowling Leagues and was a caregiver for many.
However, his greatest accomplishment was his very close bond to his wife of 44 years, Judy and his family. Ron was warm, compassionate, and giving of his time.

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Ronald. We visited with him at the funeral of his wife, Judith, and he looked well. His last Christmas card said it would be difficult during the holiday as his wife was gone. I am sure they are reunited now in a better place.
Remembering only pleasant childhood memories growing up with Ronald and his sister, Patty. Aunt Lillian , Ron´s mother, was a sister to my mother, Barbara. Due to declining health, we will not be attending the funeral but our prayers and thoughts are with the family.
Cousin, Barbara
