This is my space to share my quest to collect as many broken branches as I can in my fractured family tree which resembles a bramble bush more then a proper tree. As I go forward in this blogging journey I hope to share how I have searched far & wide for family - with no regard for where they come from or if I should really want them.
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!

Remembering Ron ~ On His 79th Birthday

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 30 (RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS)


Today, on Ron's 79th birthday, I will write about my father-in-law.

Ronald Clare (Ron) Buchner
Birth 24 JUL 1946 • Tillsonburg, Oxford, Ontario, Canada
Death 6 FEB 2021 • Puerto Vallarta Hospital, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico


Ron will always be remembered as a larger than life man who kept everyone amused. He really was the life of the party.

Chris was Ron's first born child, and only son.


Ron was the grandson on Brethern in Christ Pastor, Alonzo Vannatter.

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