Ronald Victor Bonczek, age 78 of Ethridge, passed away on Tuesday, April 11, 2017 at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
Ronald was born on October 9, 1938 in Webster, Massachusetts to Victor and Teresa Comeau Bonczek. He was proud to have served his country honorably in the military and was a member of the American Legion for thirty-years. He was married to his beloved wife, Virginia C. “Wojcik” Bonczek, with whom he loved to spend all his time with. They were married for fifty-six wonderful years and were never apart in all that time. He also loved the rest of his family with all his heart. He enjoyed playing guitar and singing, being especially gifted at yodeling. He was a member of the New England Country Music Club for fifty-five years, along with being a member of the Knights of Columbus for fifty-five years. But, no matter where he was or who he was with, he would always find a cup of coffee.
