Obituary:
|
Born January 10, 1949, Ronald was the only son and third
child of Reinhold Edward Mau of Truman, MN and Mildred
Beatrice Mau (nee: Gosse) of St. Johns, Newfoundland,
Canada. He was the grandson of Henry and Emma May and
Eleazor and Emma Gosse.
Throughout his life, Ronald
always tried to “Do it right.” He was often fond of relating
an observation or two about life. “Don’t take life too
seriously – it ain’t permanent,” as well as, “Experience is
what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.” But, he
always held hard to the old adage: “Life is a generation –
Reputation is forever!”
Ronald is survived by his
wife Dolores of Saint Jo, TX. Ronald and Dolores have five
children between them, Scottie Duckworth, Angela Murphy,
Valerie Balch, Allison Bianchi and Sara Mau. They also share
the love of 11 grandchildren and one great grandchild. He is
also survived by two sisters, Beverly Grabousk and Dorothy
Burke of Minnesota.
Pall bearers will be Marty
Murphy, Roger Newman, Garth Carson, Michael Barlett, Alan
Balch, Allison Bianchi and Sara Mau.
A funeral
service will be held at 10:00 AM Wednesday, August 31, 2011
at the Geo. J. Carroll & Son Funeral Home Chapel with Rev.
Larry Coleman officiating.
Burial will be conducted
under military honors at the Dallas-Forth Worth National
Cemetery, Dallas, TX. Memorials/contributions may be made to
the Disabled American Veterans, P.O. Box 14301, Cincinnati,
OH 45250-9927, or to the Navy – Marine Corps Relief Society,

Comments:

- Iron horses if you can, cages are always welcome and
appreciated.
- Safety First: Please remember to
properly hydrate (including the night before) before any
outdoor activity and to dress appropriately. Do not hesitate
to take a break at any time if you feel you need to get in
the shade or get indoors and always ask for help at any
time. Also please do not forget your sun screen.
-
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and
silent, and with honor and respect for this patriot and
their family. NO TALKING IN THE FLAG LINE!
- We will
park along the main street close to the designated shelter
with 2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each
other as possible so that traffic can get by.
- Let's
always remember to keep the motorcycle and voice noise to a
minimum when arriving and leaving the shelters.
-
Cemeteries are hallowed ground. Please keep radios off and
engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit.
Show our respect to ALL who are there, not just the one we
are honoring.
