Ronnie "Ron" Richmond
September 14, 1938 — January 23, 2013
Ronnie “Ron” L. Richmond, 74, of Swisher, passed away Wednesday, January 23, 2013, and as always he was surrounded by his loving family. Ron wanted nothing more than to have his friends remember him with a party to be held at the Swisher American Legion Hall from 4-8 p.m. on Saturday, January 26, 2013. Private graveside service will be held at a later date at the Anderson Cemetery, Swisher. Arrangements by Murdoch-Linwood Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Cedar Rapids.
Ron was born September 14, 1938, in Ottumwa, Iowa. He married Anita Bubenyak on September 14, 1957, (Happy birthday, indeed!) They moved to Swisher where they resided for 46 years. He loved his town and all the loyal friends he made throughout the years, especially his “legion crew” that he met with weekly. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, NASCAR and his wild and crazy family get-togethers. Ron was a wonderful father and grandpa and a very proud great-grandpa.
Left to celebrate his memory are his sons, Dale (Tina) Richmond and Dean (Dawn) Richmond; grandchildren, Cory (Jen Timm), Danielle (Brett Cooper), Casey, Dillon and Cole; great-grandson, Dempsey; and brother, Pat Richmond.
He was preceded in death by his wonderful wife, Ann; and sister-in-law, Marita.
“Grandpa” always had something to say and his quick wit drew many to him. He will be missed, but his sense of humor will live on through those he touched. We love you, Grandpa! ‘MERICA!’
The family would like to thank the incredible staff at the Honey Creek Cottage, especially Theresa, (He adored you!), and St. Luke’s Hospice.
All memorials will be made directed to Honey Creek Cottage in Swisher.
