  2. Rest in peace Ron you are now with Pat in Heaven. I have many fond memories of Ron thru the years we had a great working relationship. Ron was my Forman when I started working for Schenck in 1980 till when he became Manager or the parts department. I personally retired in 2015 and thru the years we kept in touch and reminisced of his awesome Christmas party’s at his home with a few of the crew and the many times we had working together. We also saw each other at the many Christmas party’s we all attended. My heart goes out to his children Sharon, Eric and family. Steven and Sharon Giampino

I love you with all of my heart and I will miss you forever ❤️

  7. candleMy uncle Rainer has left the best impression upon me that the human spirit has to offer. All my memories of him are of his graciousness, hospitality, sincere love for his family(immediate and extended), and ofcoarse his wonderful and unique sense of humor. Thank you uncle Rainer for treating me always as if I were your own child, it meant alot and still does. All of us who are still earthbound will miss you till we see you again, but I’m so happy that you get to be with Aunt Pat again in heaven, she deserves you. Save all of us down here a few seats up there please and we’ll see you soon!
    God Bless you

  8. In May 1980 I took a trip acrosd the USA from Germany. Rainer was my friend Doris brother and
    he picked me up from the airport and took me back to his house. I spent 3 days with Rainerhis wife Pat and his children Eric and Sharon. I was a stranger but Rainer and Pat treated me like family.
    When he opened the pool for the season I was the first one in. My last day in New York city they took me all over. Empire State Building a boat ride around Ellis Island and 2 stops on the subway. Thank you Rainer for being so kind and generous. When I left I felt like family. Good bye until I see you again in heaven.

  9. I’m so sorry to hear about Ron. He was a great boss and friend to me from 2011. We always had great, long conversations on the phone. He was a really nice man and I will miss him so much. My condolences to Eric and Sharon and the rest of his family. Love you Ron B! 😢❤️💙🌹

  10. candleDear Rainer,
    Even though we didn’t have the chance to personally spend very much time together, we have had so many wonderful conversations by phone and that brought us very close ❤️. I am going to miss you so very much.
    My thoughts are with you and your loved ones.
    Love, your cousin Rena

  11. So we got home last night and as always after a long trip I would call my brother,you, to tell you about our trip. Well you aren’t there anymore and I can’t call you to share our trip. This trip was to honor you and say good bye to you. I miss you so very much and can’t believe it yet that I won’t be able to talk to you. You were always a wonderful brother and friend to me and I will never forget ❤️ you and always love you.
