Ronald W. "Pops" Grosswiler, Sr.

Ronald W. “Pops” Grosswiler Sr., 85, of Norwalk, Ohio went to his heavenly home on January 7, 2021. He was born on May 17, 1935 in Norwalk to the late Charles and Evangeline (Robinson) Grosswiler.   

Pops found joy in nearly everything he did, but he truly relished time outside working.  He was talented at so many different things, from working on cars to remodeling his home, there wasn’t much he couldn’t do.  He enjoyed road trips to the casino with his loving wife, Pat and cherished time with family.   

Ron was a heavy equipment operator, most recently for Underground Utilities Inc.  He was a member of the Norwalk Eagles Club 711, IUOE (Heavy Equipment Operators Union) and St. Paul Catholic Church.      

Survivors include his loving wife of 65 ½ years, Patricia (Dunn) Grosswiler; their children, Ronald (Debbie) Grosswiler Jr., Jeffrey (Kim) Grosswiler and Kevin (Glenda) Grosswiler; brother, John (Sandra) Grosswiler; 18 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren.  

In addition to his parents, Ron was preceded in death by his daughters Roseanne and Kimberly; sisters, Jeanette Hersha, Lucille Sickenger, Isabelle Grosswiler, Dolores Grosswiler and Marion Grosswiler; brothers, Bernie, Paul, Charles, Rudolph, Jerome, Karl, Joseph and Lucien Grosswiler.
