Donald Ronca Obituary

I miss you You Don, you loved my mother Patricia Ackerman, you were good to my mother, she passed away 7 months ago. You were like a grandfather to me. I remember the good times we all had together.
GEZA.

A Great cousin, always with me when I visited Bethlehem !!

I thought I had quick glance of you yesterday --I guess ny eyes were tricking me. It's a year already and my missing you will never subside. No, I will never forget. 1435

It has been almost a year since you are gone. I miss your great smile and laugh,and the twinkle in your eyes. All of us miss you. You will never be forgotten. 1435

It has been six months since your passing and the loss I feel is as strong today as the day you left us. You not only were a great dad but my best friend and I can never replace you! Until we meet again, know how much I love and miss you - Mare

Oh I just heard Donny passed away. I am SO sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to Donna, John & all of their family & friends. Too many years have passed since we have seen each other. Although the miles are many, the memories are close. God bless all of you. Gabby & I miss you all very much.

Donna , I 'm sorry to hear about the passing of Donnie. I know how much he meant to you . You know you're in my thoughts--- your friend Dina

Dave and Mare,
When Karen and I heard, a whole lot of memories came flooding back--as Mare, your Dad, was a calming influence for us during a stressful time--when he took the roof off our house! He promised it would be OK--and it was--nothing but a tarp over our family's heads for a week. God must have been smiling upon him then...and now. God Bless You and your entire family. A wonderful man is now in God's arms.

Dear Family: I am deeply sorry to read of Donnie's passing. I have so many memories when I visited in Bethlehem. We always had lunch with our cousins either at Tallyho or in Roseta. My memories go back to many years ago. Donnie's dad was my mother's brother. I live in Miami now for many years but I cherish all our family gatherings when I lived in Bethlehem. There are not too many families as close as us Roncas. My prayers & memories will always be !
Mary Radford, Miami

Suzanne,

You will grieve for a short time, but you will be sad every time you think of your Dad. I still get sad when I think of my Mom. But that evolves into happy thoughts as I remember all the super things she did and the fun times we shared while I was growing up.

Love is a odd emotion. It can bring us unbelievable joy and laughter or sadness and bitter tears when things go opposite of what we hope for.

Let your grief play itself out as you are a human being and developed strong family ties as you grew up. Those will always be part of you - a precious part I might add. You lost your Dad but will always have memories of him.
We pray God will comfort you Suzanne, and that He will hold you in His loving arms.

May God continue to bless you and those you love.

Mary & John

Ronca family I look back over my like and think about all thr great times we shared.If every person in this world had a friend like Don rRonca planted earth would be a peaceful garden Muhammad Ali sends his sympathy he said he lost a good friend

Donna, My very dear friend, I wish there was something I could do or say to take some of your pain away. They say time helps heal, but being a big
part of someone's life for 37years will take some time Honey. Keep your memories close,& your friends are here
for you.
Anything Pete or I can do for you please don't ever hesitate to ask.

Love you honey.

The two of you were a force to be reckoned with and an incredible team. I'm always here for you my friend.

A voice from the past


Donnie Al and I would go cruising
in his Dads new mercury very
yellow it was---he was only allowed to

use the Packard on prom nites---and to

you younger folks they were cars----
when ever I went to the house to meet

him his mother grabbed me by the neck

sat me down with a plate of pasta
I could tell lotts but won`t
but one thing I will share
One day Donnie and Al and I went

horseback riding ugh I didn`t want any

part of it I don`t even know if the

place is there anymore Patersons

Stables----So there we go we mount up

I`m in the lead Al is behind me and

Donnie is no where to be found---the

next thing Al and his horse are racing

past me the only problem is Al is not

on the horse his foot is stuck in the

stirrup and is being drug along the

ground----so I`m totally useless but

here comes Clint Eastwood (Donnie)

grabs the beast and saves Al

and knowing the way he was never

told anyone I`ve never been on a

horse since--We have had good lives

Donnie You on land and me on sea

farewell my friend until we meet again

Donna Jo- My deepest sympathy to you and the entire Ronca family. May the good times you shared help you through this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Dot and all of Donnie's girls, I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I know how very close you all were. He was such a nice man and would have done anything for his girls. I remember all the good times we had with him at the Tally Ho and the great clam bakes he'd host in the summers . He was truly a kind sweet man . I hope your memories and love for him will get you through this difficult time . God bless and please know I am thinking of you. Sincerely, Cheryl Didyoung and family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Don's family:

My warmest condolences.

I would like to thank everyone for the kind words and expressions of sympathy. It is heartwarming to know how loved my father was and how many lives he touched whether it be with his smile, a kind word, a story or just a helping hand. I will miss him more than words can express and my heart is broken. A part of me died with him and I will never get that back but he will remain alive through the wonderful memories my family and I have. Being able to work with him everyday allowed us to create a special bond that could never be broken and I am so grateful for that. He was not only my dad but my best friend and that was the greatest gift he could have given me. I love you Dad and miss you...what I wouldn't give for one more day with you! I must try to move on without you as I know your family was there at the gates to meet you and you are in great hands! Until we meet again with all my love, Mare XOXOXO

Don was one-of-a-kind and will be sorely missed. He was a living legend and accomplished more than he ever dreamed possible. Don was a creative designer and ultimate professional. It is with great sympathy that I express my condolences to all of his daughters, Donna and their families. I will miss him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. When I think of Donny, a smile always comes to my face. I hope that everyone he touched has such fond memories of this gentle giant.

Kathryn,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember our years at St. Ursula and your dad being at our softball games. May all of your wonderful memories bring you peace at this difficult time.

To all the Ronca family, I offer my condolences. Donny was a very good man, helpful and considerate, and he always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. I'm sure he was loved by many and will be missed by all whose lives he had touched. He was a kind and fair man.

My heartfelt sympathy is extended to all of Donnie's family. Donnie and I were in grade school at St. Ursula and high school at Bethlehem Catholic ,
he was always friendly and fun , thru-out youth , also humble and quite .
Donnie was a great guy , may your fond memories lift your hearts at this time .
The world is a better place because of Donald Ronca , he leaves an indelible mark on the soul .
