d share a cup of coffee with him. Ron and Shary were the parents of 3 children: Bryan Lee Branderhorst (Deb Elrod); Sharyl Lynn Fosenburg; and Kristy Ann Wichhart (Dan). He was also the proud grandfather of 8 grandchildren: Staci Lynn and Joshua David Fosenburg; Chelsey Mae, Breanna Rae, Josie Lee and Gavin Lee Branderhorst; Ryan Ray and Kara Grace Wichhart and a special family friend, Zack Schrock. His greatest joy was seeing them drive on the yard and coming in to chat for awhile . . . the longer the better. Ron graduated from Monroe High School in 1958 and attended one year at Central College. He began farming after graduation and that continued to be his life long career. He was a member of the Otley Reformed Church. During his bout with cancer, Ron showed such courage and shared with his family and others what his faith in Christ meant to him. He taught us all how to face life's obstacles with faith, determination, courage, and humor. His greatest past time was listening to the Gaithers and others sing gospel music. The next time you think of Ron, remember his ornery smile, his storytelling, and the humor he added to every event.
