Thank you for this Uncle Denny! I love you!
I want to talk about the Ron Johnson I grew up with and moved through all the stages of life with. I cannot ignore the tortured soul he has been for far too long but I choose to release all that frustration and simply remember his life when he was relaxed and enjoyed the company of family and friends.We led an idealistic life in the early years. More like Leave it to Beaver than Ozzy and Harriet. For you younger among us, think Christmas Story. More than brothers, we were best pals and playmates. I don't recall one early memory of note that did not include Ron. We were inseparable. Our little sister Judy was there of course but she was young and a girl. Together we explored our world far beyond our back yard. I still can't believe we weren't spanked more often for that.Life changed for us with the divorce and remarriage of our parents and the joining and expansion of our families. We were still tight but by now it was Ron and I and Alan and the adventures were a little more mature and actually valued by the adults. We dug a basement by hand in our early teens and each spring we'd scrape, calk and paint the family boat Jolly L in preparation for another summer on Lake Erie.The Army, girls, marriages, kids and grownup responsibilities pulled us apart but never totally. Ron and I would debate the Cosmos, Science in general, car mechanics, handyman skills, world affairs and just about anything else you can imagine. The funny thing is we were usually on the same side of the issue and simply having a hot debate on some fine point of the topic.I ask you all that knew Ron to look back a few years, a decade or however far you need to in order to see and remember the real Ron, not the tortured soul that frustrated our efforts to help. I believe in God and I believe Ron is in God's loving embrace right now. Fully restored and ready to continue our debates when it is my time to join him and our sister Judy and Mom as well as the too many others we've loved and lost.I feel alone now. My dad and I are the only ones left from that magical Leave it to Beaver childhood. Hopefully Ron is back there now, and if so, maybe he now knows where in our childhood back yard we buried all those expensive Tonka Trucks that we never found again.Ron was, is, a loving and kind soul that is now free. I'm happy for him but the remainder of my time on Earth will have a hole where he belongs. I'm happy to say our last words were "I Love You" spoken mutually over a phone connection.Your Brother Denny
Sending thoughts of warm comfort to Ron's family. I met Ron back in my high school days, during the blossoming of my friendship with his sister Kelley (Kimberly) Luzius. I know he has a beautiful family of his own who will all miss him very much – so may you all find comfort in sharing the joys life brought when Ron was here on earth with us……
