Face in Shadows ~ Remembering Ron Buchner

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2022: Week 44 (SHADOWS)

This photo of my father-in-law is one of my favourite photos of him.

The shadows on his face are why I decided to focus on my husband's father, Ronald Clare Buchner, this week. 

This is the photo included with his obituary when he passed away February 6th 2021. Link to Ron's obituary in the sources below.

My first hug with Ron left no doubt they were related - my nose recognized the pheromones. 

This was immediately after hearing the strong similarities in their voices. 

Long before DNA confirmed it - these two were definitely father and son. 

Father & Son

This photo was taken during the week of that first time I met Ron. 

Over the past few weeks I received the photos below from Chris' stepsister, Genine. 

It was lovely to see these photos of Ron over the years - most of which I had never seen before.

More photos in no particular order:

Remembering a GREAT man - Ron!!!

This is why I search - 

Cause ... 

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
