Obituary of Ronnell H. Goodenough

Ron Goodenough, age 74, passed away peacefully November 1, 2014, with his loved ones by his side after a long and courageous battle with renal cancer. Ron grew up in Lockport where he was always getting into some form of "good clean trouble" until he joined the Lockport Blazers Drum and Bugle Corps where he met forever friends and learned lifelong lessons of discipline, precision, and teamwork. Ron worked as a craneman at Simonds Steel until the mill closed and then began a new career with Niagara County Sheriff's Department. Ron coached Little Loop football, was on the stock car pit crew of his brother in law Leo Lewandowski&amp;#39;s race team, and was a dedicated volunteer when his daughter marched with the Blazers Drum Corps. He and his wife Mary Carol hosted many Corps members at their home during the summer. Beloved husband of the late Mary Carol (Lewandowski); cherished father to his daughter Sheri (Michael) Lares and adored by his granddaughter Maddie. Dear brother in law to Leo (Donna) Lewandowski, Margaret Lewandowski, and brother to Suzette Goodenough; uncle to Scott (Lynette) Lewandowski, Ken (Tracy) Lewandowski, Kathy Davis, Doug (Kim) Lewandowski, and Dan (Lisa) Lewandowski. Also survived by his dear neighbors Ron and Joan Coulson. Predeceased by his brother in law Mike Lewandowski, and niece Vicky (Greg) Jarvie.
