Christine - my condolences to you and the rest of your family. Your
photos are a great tribute and I am sure that all who knew Ronnie
will greatly appreciate the fact that you captured his image.

Hi Everyone:
On January 3rd, my sister-in-law's husband, Ronald Fandrey, passed
away after a year long illness. Yesterday, family and friends met
up at the Du Page Inn in Downers Grove, Ill. in memory to Ronnie,
and the stories & drink flowed freely all day and night. PDMLers
would have loved Ronnie, who was a bit of a photographer himself;
an inventor, who held 4 U.S. Patents; a gardener, canner, & cook; a
great story teller; and a human being generous with time, help, and
companionship.
Two weeks before Ronnie passed, we were out by Karen & Ronnie's
house. Karen, my husband, Darrel, and I were watching the Bears
play football, while Ronnie was sitting at the kitchen table half
napping.

At yesterday's memorial, I took photos for Karen's memory book.
Just standard snapshots of family & friends as you would expect,
but there is one portrait I'll share as a PESO under separate cover.
Ronnie was also a very keen deep sea fisherman, & his ashes will be
tossed in the ocean off the coast of Florida come July. The family
now affectionately jokes: "Ron Fandrey has gone fishin'--
Permanently!"
Cheers, Christine
