Ronny ,
It's been about a year since we received the news that your time was limited and we were so devastated. They doctors gave you from 2 weeks to 2 months. God stretched it out to almost 6 months, giving you strength and a positive spirit. It's the holiday season and it makes me miss you more. Remembering all the Christmas eves you made special at your home for our family. I miss your presence, your humor and your kindness. I was so happy to see both of your boys this Christmas eve. It meant alot. Life will never be the same without you and we will always keep your memory alive. We miss you and love you!
Your sister , Denise

I´ll never forget you dad, Thank you for all the times you would take me to the cubs game to get autographs after the game even though you weren´t feeling good, all the times you would take me to get baseball and basketball cards early in the morning just to put a smile on my face. Even when you had chemo at the mayo clinic in minnesota you took me to wisconsin to see giannis from the bucks! You and mom were the definition of the perfect parents, even though everyone says that, you guys were the definition of that growing up. I wouldn´t have wanted it any other way and i´m so glad to call you and mom my parents. I hope your resting well and staying around us and protecting us! we see the signs you give us from the other side.

It has been over a month since you have gone home. I think about you everyday and miss you. I hope you know how proud I am to be your sister. I am proud of your service to our country, proud of the wonderful husband, father and brother you were. You amazed me repeatedly with how you courageously fought every challenge that pancreatic cancer brought your way and you always did it with a positive attitude . The only good result that came out of this cancer is that it gave us an opportunity to grow closer and made me more intentional in telling you that I love you whenever we talked. I will continue to think of you and miss you daily, but I find comfort believing that you are in heaven and I will see you soon.

Ronny,
Growing up with you as my older brother I had my doubts. You were the one, underdeveloped for your age, who would eat spinach at the dinner table, singing Popeye the Sailor Man. Maybe spinach worked. You have grown into a
loving, caring and hardworking man.
I will miss your pre-chemo lab texts and the faith you had in me to help guide you through this battle. You touched so many lives in so many ways. Thank you for being you.

Ronny, I am so proud you are my little brother. You grew up to be such an outstanding husband, father, grandfather, son and brother. I will forever cherish our trips to the Mayo Clinic. You remained so strong and upbeat going thru so many tests and procedures, chemo and radiation treatments and surgeries. You fought so hard until the cancer finally caught up with you. My heart is broken into so many little pieces. You will forever leave such a big hole in our family and in our hearts.
I love you forever,
Your big sister, Dar

What can you say about Ronny, just a great guy to work with, always laughing, and hard working. You could't get a better partner to work with. Its so sad that Ronny tried so hard to beat the cancer, only to take him in the end. Rest in peace Ronny, hope to see you in heaven in the future, and laugh with you again.....I know you are there for sure ! As they say Only the Good Die Young.
