Ronald Metiva

May your lifetime of wonderful memories help to comfort and guide you all now, and in the days ahead. What a great loss, he was indeed an individual who enjoyed life and was full of laughs. John & Lisa Craft

Here's a good 1 For starters RIP Big Ron Love ya man I took my daughter to the Zilwaukee Christmas party and Ron was Santa He walked up to me and said "Hey Mark how ya doing" my daughter Allison's eyes got as big around as dinner plates she looked me and said "Dad you know Santa" I said "Yeah Santa knows everyone then he looked at Allison and said "Hi Allison have you been a good girl this year" She was just floored never forget that and all the times we played hide and seek and everything else you'll be missed Ron

Although I didn't know Ronald personally I send my condolences to the family. I grew up in Zilwaukee also but really didn't get to know too many in the greater Metiva family. My Dad wad Joseph V. and Mom was Clara W. Metiva---we lived at the corner of N. Franklin and Jones. One of my regrets is that I didn't know more of the people on Dad's side of the family-- FYI: Tracy Metiva, Sarah Jane Schick and Carl Schick were my kids. Sarah shared the notice with me.

my gentle giant of a brother. You had a heart of gold. I know you are at peace now being with the love of your life cathy and our parents. I will never forget the memories of growing up as your little sister. Love you forever bro. your sis cindy

Cindy, Michaela, Denny & Jerry, We are so sorry about Ronnie. Your family and ours have been a part of each other's lives for so many years. The early Christmas mornings when my Dad would go to your house to watch you open presents because your Mom had to work that day, then your Dad coming to our house after your Mom went to work. Sitting in your parents or my parents kitchen listening to Ronnie tell us what had happened or what was happening in his life and laughing the whole time. He was always so funny. Ronnie was a Gift from GOD to everyone he knew. His love an acceptance of everyone made him a Star in his own right. Ronnie, we will miss you! Sending all of you, more love than we can express.
