My dad to me was my best-friend someone to confide in.
He always had a joke or a funny story. But what amazed me
most about my father was the lives he touched along the way.
So many people loved him and proudly showed that both at the
wake and funeral. Thank you everyone for your support and prayers
it helped my family during this difficult time.

we love you all the novotny's

To my Aunt Marie and my wonderful cousins, Stevie, Ricky, Wendy and Lou-Lou, I will always cherish...every moment we had together with Uncle Ronnie. Together is the word. Together we were all his kids. He always included everyone. Together we met extended members of Aunt Marie's family, and thought they were my cousins, my aunts & uncles. Everyone was blessed to know him. He just made everyone feel special. And I know together, we will all miss him almost more then life itself!

I cannot tell you how much I will miss uncle Ronnie! Y'all were such a very special part of my life.I am so very grateful that I got to see both of you in November after my father's passing. I wish we could arrange to be there tomorrow for the service, but I just returned from a lengthy and exhausting class in Florida on Saturday. I hope you can feel the hugs and prayers of the numerous people who love you dearly!

Ron loved his immediate and extended family so much, and he interacted with love and good humor for each one. We treasure the role he played in our wedding, coming to Washington D.C. to give away the bride, and we have fond memories of visiting with him and Marie in Florida, Illinois and Wisconsin. We know he is now at peace, in God's hands.
With much love, cousin Marianne and husband Randy.

In all of the lives Ron touched .. he will live on in our hearts; bringing to mind love and laughter... tc

Marie, and family,
Very sorry to read ofRon's death. Although I hadn't seen Ron much, over the years, since he had "quit drinkin', and I'd quit working, I did see him periodically, over the years at Dominick's and such. I would see him on the bike, I know he said he really enjpoyed the motorcycle.
My sympathy to you and your family. (old bartender at the Mood, for Ray)
