Ronald E. Rezek, Sr. Apr 23, 1930 Dec 17, 2016 Ronald E. Rezek, Sr. passed away suddenly on Saturday, December 17, 2016, while recovering from treatment for a brief but determined battle with esophageal cancer. He lived 86 years as a very proud father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. The son of Frank and Emma Rezek, he grew up in South Omaha with his brother F. Robert and graduated from St. Joes High School. He joined the Air Force, serving in the Korean war from 1951-1953. After being honorably discharged, he went to work at Western Electric where he met Elizabeth Goeden. They were married on July 12, 1958. He always felt like he had won the lottery to be with her. He attended night school while working and raising a young family, and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1961. He sold real estate until retiring. He had a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous smirk that never failed to bring laughs or groans. During his retirement, he enjoyed solving problems, working puzzles, playing games (which he usually won), golfing, traveling, and spending time with his family. His joyful laugh, his loving smile, and consistent support made his family closer and stronger. He is survived by his loving wife, Betty, and children: Ron Rezek, Jr. (Michiella), Roberta Murray (Pat), Robin Theis (Pete), Richelle Meisinger (Jon), Rich Rezek (Jill). He is also survived by 11 grandchildren: Lauren and Brandon Rezek, Neil Murray (Claire), Dan Murray (Molly), Colleen and Brian Murray, Jessica and Alena Theis, Beth and Jennifer Meisinger, and Violet Worth; two great-grandchildren, Carter Muelle (Dans son) and Hannah (Neil and Claires daughter).
