"I can't tell you how much I miss you Dad! Everyone's gone, its just me, RJ, Ryan, Mom and the dogs here. Its not the same without you. Its really starting to set in, this is my life without you now. I love you. I'll never forget you and I wish you could come home from work one more time. Get the dogs all riled up and pop in my room to say hello. This morning I went back to work and I waited for you to wake me up and tell me my alarm is going off and waking you up. It was so hard to go back to the bakery. Ill keep going for you and because I know that's what you want me to do. I miss you and that's never going to stop. I love you. I pray to God I can see and talk to you again one day. I'll never stop missing you."
In loving memory of

Tributes
"To the Lemmermann Family, I was so sorry to read of your loss. I came to know Ron through my job when he came in every year to sign up for the annual lottery gun hunt at Lion's Den. He was always so friendly and wonderful to talk with. He did get chosen one year along with his son and was so excited to be able to hunt there with him. He made me feel more like a friend when he stopped in and he always took time to talk and fill me in on what was going on with him and his family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Psalm 23:6 Cindy "

"Dear Traci: I am so very sorry for your loss--way too soon, way too young. I met Ron through the Gabrich's. He was quick to smile and laughed easily--traits that I found very endearing. I know his cousin Mary Gabrich will miss him terribly. My heart and prayers go out to you."
"Traci, I am so sorry for your loss. It's been a long time but I remember Ron as a very friendly and outgoing person, I am sure he will be missed greatly. I pray that you are able to find comfort in the promise of the Lord that He will be with us when we call on His name. "
"Traci and Family, my deepest sympathies to you all. I knew Traci as my mother's faithful care-giver, and I knew Ron as the postal carrier for our Milwaukee law firm. It was only this past week that I connected the dots and realized that the two seemingly separate tragedies I learned of were actually one. My heart goes out to you. "

""If Jehovah had not been my helper, I would soon have perished. When I said "My foot is slipping," Your loyal love, O Jehovah, kept supporting me. When anxieties overwhelmed me, You comforted and soothed me." Psalm 94:17-19"
"Grandma Pat and I were talking yesterday. We both remember his wonderful inviting smile with his kind eyes. She talked of driving home from work with her friend when she saw him driving his mail truck. Ron saw his aunt Pat and stopped traffic to cross the street to see her. Ron said "hi aunt Pat, I couldn't pass up offering you a kiss." One which she was happy to receive. Pat talks with pride when we talked about Ron she loves him and will miss him very much. Ron was a large part of our lives. Most of my memories of him were at parties such as New Years and summer parties. Thank you uncle Ron for never missing one. My love and healing light goes out to my Cusens who lost their father, my aunt who lost her devoted husband and to his siblings. "
