Ronald Petroski, age 67, of Hot Springs, SD, passed away February 7, 2008 at Rapid City Regional Hospital in Rapid City, SD.

Ronald was born September 5, 1940 in Chicago, IL, to Edward and Olga (Lemke) Petroski.

I'll always remember my husband Ron, we both came a long way. His friends and family members laughed with jokes. They would say "I have to remember that one." He would wait five minutes and ask, "Do you remember?" And they wouldn't.

Ronald is survived by his wife, Loretta; four sons, Donald Young of Rapid City; Daniel Young of Illinois; Donovan Peters of San Bernardino, CA; Derick Peters of Rapid City; three daughters, Patricia Peters of Rapid City; Pamela Young of NE; Lisa Rodriguez of Rapid City and seventeen grandchildren.
