Dear Lynne:

I am very sorry… The last time I saw him was at Vince Faga’a wedding and I was an usher and he tipped me quarter.

His granpa Frank was my mother’s brother.

Gone from our sight, but never our memories.

Gone from our touch, but never our

hearts.

Our Deepest Sympathy

It was with a great deal of regret that I learned of the passing of “Ronnie”.Our family and the Bonavita family were very close.My father was Ronnie’s confirmation sponsor,and Ronnie was a councilor at Camp Cornplanter,a summer camp for special needs residents.My father,Paul Steinkamp hand picked his staff,and always held the highest regard for Ronnie. God Bless.

Our Deepest condolences to All of Rons family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you through this sad time. R.I.P. Uncle Ron.

Julie, Mike and Family

Ron, we will miss our “best buddy” tremendously!!!We have so many great memories that we all shared with our trips together and our everyday life. You were the best friend anyone could have with your caring nature of always looking out for everyone. Oh my gosh!!! the laughs and you and Joe always telling the old stories of back in Warren, Pa. I don’t know how we are going to go on without you but I guess you will be looking down at Joey and I with that funny look on your face and please know that we will always feel you right there with us. We love you buddy and Know you will be watching us.

We will always love you and never forget you.

I haven’t seen you since I was teenager, Uncle Ron, but I always remember how kind and fun you were. I pray that those closest to you find strength.

Bonavita family,

To The Bonavita’s,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this time.

Dear Ron and Amy,

Bob and I send our condolences to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Love and prayers to you all at this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I knew Ronny from the west end in Warren,PA and we had a fun time.

Ron was a part of the fabric of the 1940s and 1950s, growing up in Warren. A life-brightener, good to be around. Rest in peace.

Dear Bonavita Family:

Recently, I met Charlie through Dr. Joe and kept Mr. Ronald in my prayers. Now that he is resting in the arms of our Lord, I pray that the hope we have in the promises of God will comfort your hearts as you honor his life during this time. “The Lord is my shepherd…He leads me beside the still waters” Psalm 23

Ron and I became instant friends when we met in 1965, at Rochester Business Institute. Over the next 47 years, Ron made me laugh and smile more than anyone. I loved sharing our college and work adventures over and over again with Lynn, as if she were hearing them for the first time. I’ll miss our annual Christmas morning telephone conversations, which were my favorite gift of all. Ronnie, you were the BIG brother I never had, and yes, I did love “hanging around with you” he would ask, “you like hanging with me, don’t you!”. My buddy gave me so many wonderful memories that will forever keep me smiling. Thank-you and God Bless you, Lynn and the kids.

Love always, John & Jackie.

Dear Bonavita Family,

My deepest sympathy for your loss. May he rest in peace. Ron always brought a smile to my face.His tender ways and beautiful sense of humor will be greatly miss. God bless him and your family always.

I first met Ron when I was Adminstrator of St. Andrew Parish in Coral Springs when Ron was working for J.S Paluch. Our friendship continued after that when he became Administrator of St. Joseph’s Residence and I began working for Catholic Home Heatlh. He was a kind and wonderful man. I will remember him and think of him often.

We were privileged to get to know Ronnie and to spend some great times with he and Lynne. Ronnie truly enjoyed his life, he took time to enjoy his family and his friends; now Ronnie, you will have the time to work on that golf game up in heaven.

Ron, I am going to miss you so much. I know now,as you alway said when I asked you how you were

“I AM WONDERFULLLLLLL!” that you really are now. I will remember you alway.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege to work with Ron first at St. Joseph’s Residence in the early 90’s, then later seeing him every day at CHS. I was in awe of Ron when I worked with him at St Joseph’s as I watched the resident’s faces light up when Ron entered the room singing and joking. He brought such joy and laughter to all who knew him, it was my pleasure to know him. We truly lost a wonderful friend and the world lost a truly great man.

Ronnie – a great husband, father, friend; a great man. You can now shepherd all who love you and whom you love. Lynne we wrap our arms around you with a heartfelt hug.

Barbie and Mike

Dear Ronnie: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of those mourning your father throughout this difficult time. May God’s abiding love give you the peace and comfort of knowing that your father is now healthy and resting in our Father’s loving arms. The Petermanns/Barnards

Ron I will miss you, I have learned so much from you. Rest In Peace. To the Bonavita family, be strong and put God first in your time of grief, and always,the words of God will comfort your hearts. My condolences to you all.

I’WILL BE OFFERING MASS DAILY REMEMBERING MY DEAR FRIEND OF TWENTY YEARS AND ASKING THE LORD TO TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY AS RON CARED FOR ME DURING MY RETIREMENT YEARS REQUIESCAT IN PACE,FR.LARRY

My deepest condolences to the Bonavita family. I will truly miss Ron’s freindship and great sense of humor. He was one of a kind!!

Lynne, You and Ron have not been far from my thoughts these last months, have remained in my prayers and will continue to be foremost in them. I have fond memories of Ron interacting with Ricky, who is still telling Marvin, “the checks in the mail.” Ron taught that to him 20 years ago in Warren, and Ricky never forgot it. May Ron rest in God’s loving peace. Darlene

Dear Lynne and Family:

I have no words to describe my sadness. Ronnie’s friendship was a gift of fun, laughter, and warmth that will never be replaced. It was a privilege to have known him and to have shared the light he radiated.

Oh Lynne, please accept my sincerest sympathy and know that I am thinking of you and your children. I have enjoyed so much your posts on face book of your travels and had no idea that Ron had been ill. Please know you are in my prayers.

When our daughter Amy told Bill and me about the love of her life, Ronnie, we were excited to meet the parents of the young man that told her about his love and devotion to his parents. Thru the years as Amy visited the Bonavita’s home, she told us how they welcomed her into their home and treated her like she was their own. She instantly became a “sister”, “daughter”, and “aunt” to his family. After their marriage, Ron and Lynne made every effort to provide an embraceable relationship with her.

We couldn’t have chosen a family that loves Amy more. It was an honor to know Ron. He left a wonderful legacy, but most of all he was a compassionate, caring father in law who loved Amy very much. We will all miss him.

Bill and Barbara Jo Bolin

My thoughts and prayers are with the Bonavita Family. May the Lord surround you all with his Love and strenght during this time of deep sadness. With much Love!

Will never forget Ronnie at the Hard Rock when I had that girl go up to him as he leaned on the wall. I just couldn’t stop laughing and then he noticed I had put this girl up to that. He shook his finger at me that I was in trouble. Good laugh I had. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with you Lynne and family. Love U

Lynne and Family we are so sorry for your loss.Ronnie and I were very close friends and date back to 1st grade at McClintock School to our graduation from Warren High School. We played many sports together including little league base ball, basketball and football. We reconnected in 1988 when I moved to Florida and enjoyed playing golf every week in Hollywood, Fl. I will miss him very much and know that he is in a good place now. Love you buddy.
