The photo sure captures how I remember Ron. He was a blessing.
I just saw Ron;’s obituary this morning. I last saw Ron at the Peony Festival at Linwood Gardens in June, 2019 with his companion. My condolences to Ron’s family…daughters and sister. Ron and I met several years ago at Roxy’s Music store in Batavia where I purchased a Roland accordion. Ron was very helpful to me over several years in helping me to get oriented to the new instrument. He was an enthusiastic accordion player and supported the accordion playing community connected with Roxy’s to help form a club that played at the Peony Festival and is now playing from time to time at various events in the area. Ron’s gentle ways, smile and support of music for seniors will long be remembered. Rest In Peace, Ron. A music friend who appreciates the help you provided.
To Ron’s Family: Our deepest sympathy, love and prayers from all of your families in Pennsylvania. We are so sorry we could not attend Ron’s service but know that we are there with you.
We shall never forget his music on the accordion! My dad John loved to him play, especially the polkas. We shall always remember our fun times at Osipovitch reunions and family get-togethers….in days gone by.
Ron….Tell mom and dad (John and Leah) we all said “we miss you”. Your cousins,
Ronnie, you will be missed by all that had a chance to know you. Your old, Ave. D,neighbor. Say hello to, Alex, for me
May your gentleness and spirit live on. You touched my life by always having a smile and being so positive and sharing your stories with me. You will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace and that when I step out on my balcony, and watch the deer and birds….it will always remind me of you. God Bless . Deb R.
Rest in peace Ron O.
