Ronald Jericho Obituary
Ronald Jericho, 80, of Chicago, passed away on March 12th, 2023. He was born on June 9, 1942, in Chicago, IL. Ronald was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lorraine (nee Oster), and his parents, Claire, and Ludwig. He is survived by his children and grandchildren - Lisa and her daughter Eliana, Robert, his wife Hilary, and daughters Layla and Bryn. Ronald was a man of many passions, but his dedication to his family, friends and work colleagues and his devotion to helping non-profits were among his greatest joys. His dry sense of humor and kind-hearted nature were a source of inspiration to all who knew him. Ronald was a strong advocate for equity and believed in supporting education funds to help correct the wrongs of the past. This was shaped by his parents' experiences fleeing Germany, and he was committed to making the world a better place for future generations. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Lori Jericho Scholarship Fund at Inspiration Corporation 4554 N. Broadway Suite 207 Chicago IL 60640 www.inspirationcorp.org. Services Monday 12 PM at Chicago Jewish Funerals, 8851 Skokie Blvd. (at Niles Center Road) Skokie. Interment Ridgelawn Cemetery.

I worked with Ron many years ago at The Bensman Group and have sent him Christmas cards ever since. He always sent one back with his small "Love, Ron" message at the bottom. I am saddened by this news and hope his family is doing well. He always made me laugh and feel special.

I worked with Ron at Waste Management. He was a star. He was always so generous with his time and assistance, and he taught me so much about accounting, a field in which he was brilliant. It was my good fortune to capture his stories and his wisdom for a book about the company. Truly he was one of the reasons the company was so successful. I'll miss my friend Ron.
