Ronald Francis Mazur

Ronald Francis Mazur “Ron” of Wilmington formerly of Bedford Park passed away peacefully Tuesday evening January 15th.  Ron was at his cabin on Big Shadow Lake overlooking the water with family when he passed. Beloved husband and fishing buddy of Sue for 18 years. Loving father of Keith, Barry Jr., Buddy (Ricel)  and Kimberly. Dearest Pine Pine and grandpa of Gabriel, Sophia, Ethan, Hayley, Clark and Dean. Preceded in death by his loving wife, Cindy, and devoted parents Frank and Anna Mazur. Son-in-law and dear friend of Richard and the late Barb Zebleckis. Fun loving brother-in-law of Cheryl, Julie, Nancy, Beverly (Mark) and Allison (Dave). Fun loving uncle to Brad, Jeff, Amy, Justin, Mark, Louie Jr. & Sam. Loving and devoted to many special cousins. Ron "Mr. Mazur" was a fixture among the halls of Argo Community High School for over 33 years, teaching physical education & coaching Basketball, Tennis, Swimming, and Badminton. Proud of his Master’s Degree in education, but not too proud to keep the staff and student body of ACHS on their toes with his constant pranking and outgoing sense of humor.  Lastly Ron was thought of as more than a pal, or friend to his fishing buddies, they shared a bond deep inside, a quiet understanding, a resolve that only a fisherman could feel and he will be deeply missed and remembered. His love for the outdoors, hunting, fishing and his friends and family will continue on in all of us like ripples in the water after a perfectly placed cast!
