Ronald Streeter Obituary
May 12, 1935 - May 17, 2020
Resident of Santa Cruz
Born and raised in Washington State and a graduate of Bellingham High. Ron joined the Marines and served as a Sergeant in the Far East. He is a graduate of Western Washington University. He met his wife of 59 years, Lynda Mandich, at college. They moved to California to teach and have lived in the same house in Santa Cruz for 55 years. Ron taught Industrial Arts for 32 years at Mission Hill Junior High. He always said he had the best job in the world working with kids. He could often be seen cruising through town in his restored red 1966 VW Beetle. Ron and Lynda have two daughters. Wendy Lytel (Todd) of Carlsbad, CA, grandchildren Scarlet and Thatcher, and Jill Currie (Steven) of Park City, Utah, grandchildren Hunter and Patrick. Ron was a long-time member and past President of Pasatiempo Golf Course where he played 3 rounds of golf a week, scored 8 hole-in-ones, and only gave up walking to use a cart when he turned 80. He and Lynda enjoyed traveling to see family, and throughout the world with friends to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Ron could always be counted on for a rousing story, a joke or to fix and repair an item for grandchildren, neighbors or one of many friends. He had a mighty laugh and no one stayed a stranger for very long. Ron and Lynda were active members of Santa Cruz Bible Church. Fondly remember him with a smile.

I remember when we were going to Mission Hill Junior High School we told mr. Streeter we were black panthers you told us that we would not make a pimple on a black panthers butt LOL he laughed so hard. On Saturdays he would hold a wood and metal shop and give us all of the materials free because we were not able to afford to buy it during regular class time. Those times meant a lot to us. Donuts and chocolate milk hot chocolate he would take us to art shows he really cared I think the Lord I was able to be around when he was teaching. He would take me to Pasatiempo and eat sandwiches he would tell me let's go play golf I would tell him you only want me to play so you would have a caddy LOL what a great guy thank you for the Memories Kenneth Ray Brown Sr.
