Ronald P Komro

Ronald P. Komro, age 70 of Durand, died Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire after a long battle with dementia.

Ron was born on May 19, 1950 at the hospital in Durand. He was the son of Philip and Marian (Spindler) Komro. Ron grew up on the family farm in the Town of Albany, attended Sacred Heart School in Lima and graduated from Durand High School in 1968. After high school, Ron worked on the family farm for a short while and then attended the vocational school in Eau Claire for marketing. Ron then took a job as an Assistant Manager at a McDonalds in Rochester, MN for several years. He married Joanne Feeney on March 3, 1973 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Elk Mound. After marriage, they lived in Rochester before returning to farm on the home farm in the Town of Albany, where he remained the rest of his life. Ron had many jobs outside of farming, including working at UW-Eau Claire and driving bus for the Durand School District.

Ron enjoyed deer hunting, having a beer, going on motorcycle rides, taking care of his cats and watching the Green Bay Packers. He loved telling jokes, Ron loved to make people smile and he never met a stranger. Most of all, Ron loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

    So very sorry to hear of Ron's passing.------ I usually mention this quote as it helped ease the pain when my parents and siblings passed-----

    When a loved one leaves to go on a long trip those of us that are left behind sadly say, "Good-bye". BUT, those on the Other side greet them with joy and exclaim, " HELLO ! and WELCOME HOME !"
