Four years have gone by, and yet it seems like yesterday when you were watching the Bears, and we were arguing over whether or not there is any good pizza in Arizona. I miss you Dad. Love, Carolyn

3 years in Heaven and I bet everyone knows you by now! And you're probably telling everyone this is the best place to live! Thanks for the good memories and especially for the wonderful family you gave me.

Love you Dad. Happy Birthday to my Angel.

I am so grateful to our 4 daughters for creating this "forever remembrance" of Ron and to our 4 sons for their strength to our family in this sad time of our lives. I will hold the past 63 years of good memories in my heart and hold dear Ron's example of finding the blessings in all situations and places in our lives.

The Pedone Family,
Please accept our sympathy and prayers on Ron's death- it is so hard to lose someone you love so much. Your dad was a wonderful friend to us and we have so many fond memories. Our wonderful vacations in Santa Monica and DisneyLand our something Jeanne and Eddie still talk about. We had great times together - so much fun and a friendship we will never forget. Jack and Ron were forever Riverview and White Sox fans! There will never be another Ron Pedone for us. We will always cherish our friendship with all of you.

Thinking of You All!
Love,
Jack and Pat

I forgot what a wonderful smile your Dad had! Thank you for doing this.

There are so many memories and stories to tell. He was like my second dad growing up. I was always at the house just like I was one of his kids. I was included in FAMILY activities. He was the typical parent running us all over town. To the movies, mall, skating, even out bowling league we played on which Michele excelled in. I have favorite memories, some quite funny. This particular one one tells what a great man he was. Walking to the house one night and someone tried to take me. I ran so fast and when I got to the door I was non stop ringing the doorbell. The man had actually got out of his car and was approaching me. When Michele opened the door the Guy ran. Dad didn't call the police. He literally put us in the car and we went on the hunt. That great man drove all over the neighborhood hell bent on trying to find the car and the man. We never did. However, he was there for me and not about to let anything happen to us. If we had found the man and the car, lord help us. He would not have survived Mr. Pedone. He was a great father. Granted, we could drive the man crazy at times and upset him. He was all about love and family.

Dad, I sit here listening to your favorite songs and I can hear your voice singing along. I would bet you are singing for the Angels now and they are smiling just as much as your songs made me smile. 

I know you can't be with me here in person, but I also know you will always be close by...whispering in my ear and guiding me through life. It gives me comfort to know I can talk to you whenever I need you and you will see every proud moment of my life going forward, which I still hope to give you many before I'm done. 

Thank you for giving me your courage and strength. I wouldn't be the person I am today without you and I only hope to give my girls the same wonderful qualities that you passed on to me. I'm so proud to be your daughter and I love you so very very much.

Coudnt have asked for a better stepfather. We will all miss you so very much Ron we loved you a lot. Im sure you are up there in heaven looking down on your 12 kids with a smile! Im so glad you and mom found each other. You had a heart of gold! Love you. Go Bears!!

Every single day with you was an amazing adventure. I pray that whatever time God gives me on this earth…. that I make you proud. That I live life the way you taught me to live. That we are all brave through this transition and know in our hearts you are in such a beautiful place. I promise to do right by you in this little life… until we meet again pappa. Thank you for being my Dad… the greatest Dad in the world. My #1 guy.
