(Lubinski) Zakrzewski. Ron attended P.J. Jacobs High School, graduating in 1950. He
joined in the U.S. Army serving in Oberammergau, Germany from 1951 – 1953. Later,

over 40 years upon his retirement.

classical music, Chopin to be his favorite, and often played the piano for his friends and
family. For several years, he also served playing his piano melodies for nursing homes

Ron loved to 'show the sites' of several states over his family's growing years, but his

oil painting.
