Ronald W. Kroning, 85 of St. Charles, died Friday, March 27, 2020 at Willows & Waters Senior Living in Rochester.

They eventually made their home in St. Charles where Ron became a part-owner of John Deere until his retirement. Ron and Theo were devoted members of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.
Ron enjoyed snowmobiling and woodworking and could often be found in his shop in the basement making furniture. Ron was a devoted family man and treasured time spent with them. In recent years, he appreciated long conversations with friends.
He is survived by his daughter, Vicki (Scott) Disher of Minnetonka; son, Brian (Jean) of Dover; three grandchildren, Jason (Sarah) Kroning of West St. Paul, Jessica (Josh) Hoekstra of Rochester and Brianna Kroning of Dover; and 5 great-grandchildren, Brian & Harrison Kroning and Max, Marie & Mila Hoekstra.
