Even as a child, Ron was kind. I got to know him when we were fourth graders at Flynn Park. At some point, I ended up in a PE group with all boys (we weren't separated into girls' and boys' PE activities until 6th grade). It was awkward for me and for them. One of them (thankfully, I have forgotten who) commented, "We're all neat guys except for Raber" (in those days it was considered good form to refer to one another by last names). Then Ronnie Steiner spoke up: "Oh, I don't know. Raber's a neat guy." And that was that. I had my place for that difficult gym period. Thanks, Ron. 

To Ron’s Family —
I grew up on Kingsbury, two buildings away from the Steiners.  Ron and I played together as little kids, both of us being only children, and I have many memories of his smiling and proud parents.  Believe it or not, years later Ron and his family bought a home in White Plains, a few doors down from where I lived with my husband and children. Small world, right?  I am thankful for our small re-connection,  I so enjoy listening to his guitar music on YouTube. It’s obvious by his facial expressions how much joy he had for his music.   Oh, by the way, I’m a trout fisher person as well.  May your happy memories of Ron be comforting to you all during this difficult time. And may Ron’s memory be a blessing.

So happy to have known Ron and your whole sweet family. His funeral service was the most beautiful I have ever attended. All the love expressed by family and his own words and music were very moving and will not be forgotten. And only Ron and Laura will understand when I say "Chimichanga!" He was a truly good human being and in his honor I will try to be a better person going forward. Love to all. 

Ron loved his family. He was always there for Cindy and me when we did girls scouts for 12 years. When Cindy hosted Bunko Ron was always in the kitchen helping. His guitar playing was magical. Such a special man that will truly be missed. I pray for comfort for his family.

Visited with Ron at the U City reunion October, 2022 and at the high school tour the following day. Such a nice warm-hearted person. We realized that we and our spouses lived not too far from one another and exchanged phone numbers with the goal of all getting together sometime..,but we hadn’t made it happen yet.

Don’t wait to make those calls to folks and friends you want to see. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ron’s family and loved ones. May Ron’s memory forever be a blessing.



I am so sorry to hear about Ron (the Brownie Dude). He loved helping with the Brownie troop and was a fantastic musician.  I remember when he told me that in the summers between high school he used to clean my fathers glassware in the lab at Washington University. 

Ron will be missed but left great memories to cherish. 

We were so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. 

Cindy, Laura, and Danny; our family is holding yours in our thoughts. 




Dearest Cindy, my heart hurts for you. Even with all the blessings that you have shared with Ron, missing him must be all consuming. I have no idea how to comfort you with words. Wishing you strength. Know that you are loved, Linda Fuhrer Levisohn 

The world has lost a very special person,however, his actions acted as a model for others to carry on!   Very Sincerely....Nancy Tumbrink 

Ron was such a kind and humble man.  I played music with him often and he was always friendly, always willing to listen and share.  He will be missed.  My love and prayers for God's comfort goes out to Cindy, his kids, and grandkids. Ron was surely a mench- a good guy.  And... he wasn't a bad picker either!  May his memory be a blessing.

Ron worked for me at Monsanto and was an exceptional employee, a good person, a fine family man, and very smart.  I enjoyed his sense of humor and his wonderful attitude toward life and living.   He loved his wife, Cindy, desperately and his kids were his life.  I am shocked at his passing so young but we can all take comfort that his life was well-lived.  He was kind to everyone whom he met, with never a harsh word about anyone.  My deepest condolences to Cindy and Ron's entire family.   He will be missed but we still have our memories  of him.  

I remember with great love all those awed silences after Ron would play the last notes of a song, stunning the listeners with the beauty of the moment. It was a deep joy to accompany him on my mandolin as we savored each note and harmony.  Rest in peace, friend.  I count the memories of playing music with you as a pure blessing. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ron and your family. We have enjoyed our times together, from watching our boys play sports through high school band, now to watching your grandchildren grow. Ron’s heart and kindness were bigger than life. I still play his music in the car. There is no doubt that he is irreplaceable, but he has left so many happy memories for us that we will always remember him.
