Ron is going to be greatly missed and is survived by his wife, Charlene (nee Reeves), and his three sons Rick (Jenn) Jung, Mike (Jamie) Jung, and John (Megan) Jung, and his four grandsons Alex, Myles, Oliver, and Jack, dear brothers Robert “Bob” (Carol) Jung and the late John (Charlotte) Jung and sisters, Bernice “Bunny” (Mel) Ronecker and the late Janet (Ken) DeClue and Louise (Emeil) Weigand and many nieces, nephews, cousins. He was so proud of all his family. Ron was born in Affton, MO where he resided throughout his life. He attended Seven Holy Founders and graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1953. Ron was a carpenter by trade and a business owner. He owned what was one of Affton’s landmarks, “Ron and Bob’s Liquor”, with his childhood friend and classmate. He also had a construction company and loved working on people’s homes and creating new friendships. Anyone that met Ron knew he was an “unemployed comedian”. He enjoyed making people laugh and feel good about themselves. Ron will truly be missed and loved by the people who knew him.

Ron will be laid to rest alongside his mother at Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery. A memorial celebration of his life will be held in September. Details will be shared when available.

    A beautiful tribute for a wonderful man. How fun it was to sit next to Ron at a family gathering, it was his mission to keep us laughing. But what we enjoyed the most was listening to him talk about his family. His love for Char “my bride, as he referred to her”, his boys and grandchildren would light up his eyes and bring the best smile to his face. So very thankful that he was able to see John become a Dad. Ron was a wonderful father-in-law to our Megan and an incredible grandpa to our little Jack. Thank you Ron for all the joy you brought to our lives, you will be missed.
