Offer Condolences or MemoryRONALD PATRICK HENRY RISKO
It is with heartfelt sadness the family announces the sudden passing of Ron on April 19, 2023.
Left to survive are his wife and best friend of 38 years, Cathy, sister Connie, brother and sister-in-law Glen and Iris McDonald, niece Leah McDonald and great-nephew Carter Lee McDonald.
Ron was predeceased by his father Mike and mother Jean.
Ron loved all sports but golfing was his passion. In his younger years his love of music had him playing in a band that saw him travel Canada and the U.S.
Summer time found him spending hours in his yard until it met with his standards. He also loved to bar-b-que.
As per Ron’s wishes a private family service will be held at a later date.

I knew Ron for many years, as we worked together. One of the most naturally smart guys I've ever met.. He had a very distinct way of clear cutting thinking that very few have. I left the city moons ago for San Diego, but was always thinking and wondering about Ron.. It's very sad for all.. He will be terribly missed. Stay strong.. - Posted by: Bruce W (friend) on: Apr 30, 2023

Ron and I spent many a night penning songs and recording in Memphis Tennessee. Those memories and his friendship I will hold very special. They were truly the best years to have a friend like Ron. As Ron once wrote these lyrics that resonate now: "Another part of life cannot be found if you are never free, And God only knows if I ever find that world again I'll step insdie." So my friend Ron, you are now free of all burden. Go with God. Your friend..//Joey - Posted by: Joey Gregorash (Friend) on: Apr 27, 2023

One of the first bands I was in was with Ron. He could sing and play guitar, truly a talented friend. Many years later when I was living in Phoenix AZ I called him and he shared with me, his love of golf both he and his wife had taken up. I could immediately tell that this was something he really loved to do. I said if he were ever down our way, Phoenix had some great courses I could hook him up with. Unfortunately that was the last time we talked but he will be very missed by us all. - Posted by: Fred Hendrick (Friend) on: Apr 26, 2023

Ron was one of many musical mentors who enriched my life. We bunked together on the road, shared many late nights and emptied more than a few bottles of Canadian Club. A true friend. - Posted by: Brian Keith McMillan (Band mate) on: Apr 26, 2023
