Obituary of Ronald Makely

Makely, Ronald James, Sr. (Jim) April 12, 1938-February 5, 2012. Predeceased by his parents Howard and Elizabeth (Stulpin) Makely; his wife Carolyn. Survived by his loving fiancée, Darlene Jacobs; son, Ronald, Jr. and daughter, Karen; grandsons, RJ (Ronald James, III) and William; special daughter, Linda Makely; lifelong friend, Dr. Fred Coisman and wife, Doris; including many other friends and family. Jim worked in the food industry for many years in sales and always loved the challenge of pursing a difficult customer. He never shied away from the challenge and that was the reason for his success in business. The family would like to thank Dr. Daniel Mendolsohn and the staff at The Highlands at Brighton for their care of Jim. Burial services will be at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Jim's memory to: Seneca Park Zoo, 2222 St. Paul St., Rochester, NY 14621.
