Ronald R. Pelz
Berlin, Wisconsin
Ronald R. Pelz, age 66, of Berlin, died Sunday, September 26, 2010, at home. He was born August 12, 1944, in Oshkosh to the late Edwin and Gladys Coralie (Jackson) Pelz. On July 16, 1966, Ron married Carol Bloch at the Borth United Methodist Church. He worked construction and took over his parent's farm in the Town of Rushford. Ron also worked with his parents at their trailer park in Stuart, Florida, later becoming co-owner of the park with his two sisters. Until moving to Berlin three years ago, Ron had lived his whole life in the same house on the farm. Ron had an interest in antique engines, and he and some friends spent Monday nights working on them. He had a passion for elk hunting in Colorado, enjoyed fishing in Canada, golfing, collecting antiques, and loved spending time with his grandchildren. He was a member of the Borth United Methodist Church.

My heart is heavy for your loss. I spent so many hours, play time, and sleep overs at your home while I was growing up...all of the memories are happy ones. Thank you for sharing your lovely family with me growing up. Lucky me to have been your country neighbor and shared and celebrated with all of your family's joy. You are all in my prayers and those of my parents as well. Blessings to all of you!

Dont grieve for me, for now Im free , Im following the path, God has laid you see., I took His hand, when I heard him call, I turned my back , and left it all. I could not stay another day , To laugh, to love, to work, to play., Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day., If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy., A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss. , Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow., My lifes been full, I savored much , Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. , Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Dont lengthen it now with undue grief., Lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me now; He set me free. "Unknown" May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten. Doris and Greg Casperson
