To all of the friends, neighbors, and alumni of our father, Ronald Zalokar,
With sincere gratitude we wish to thank all of you for the generous gifts in his memory, for your support, kind words, wonderful stories, and condolences at this difficult time. It means so much to us to hear from all of you.
The Ronald and Diane Zalokar Family
My Deepest Sympathy for the loss of your father.
My deepest sympathy to the children and grandchildren of Coach Zalokar. He was a great coach and more importantly a great man. He always kept in contact with my family over the years and we will miss him. He had never ending patience, a good sense of humor and his dedication to students and players went beyond the call of duty.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Ron's death. I was fortunate to have been a member of his Defensive teams and his Wrestling teams at Carthage. I was even more fortunate to work with him at Carthage and play tennis at noon. He was a coach, a mentor, a co-worker and most importantly a very good friend. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with Gary and the rest of the family. John Hollingsworth '76
Dear Family
I wanted to express my deepest sympathy and concern for you and also share with you the wonderful hope for our dead loved ones. As you grieve Ronald's death, please reflect on the hope in question, which comes from our Heavenly Creator, Jehovah God. By means of the Bible, He allows us to understand how He'll eliminate death for good one day and bring our dead loved ones back to life. This is evident in Scriptures like (Isaiah 25: 8), (John 5: 28, 29), (1 Corinthians 15:26), (Revelation 21:3 and 4), which can comfort you in your sorrow. God's promises are guaranteed because He cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Moreover John 11 verses 11-14, 39, 43, and 44 attests that Jesus, whom God appoints to bring the dead back to life, can do it since he demonstrated it when he resurrected Lazarus and several others when he was on earth. As you await Ronald's resurrection, please heed Jesus' counsel in John 17 verse 3 and take steps to gain accurate knowledge of Jehovah and Jesus by carefully studying the Bible with God's Witnesses. In John 5 verse 39, Jesus explains that such study is imperative for anyone, who wishes to have everlasting life one day here on earth, which will become a paradise where you can be re-united with Ronald again in a world free of VIOLENCE, WAR, SICKNESS, OLD AGE, DEATH etc?as stated in (Psalms 37: 9-11 and 29), (Psalms 46: 8 and 9), (Isaiah 33:24), (Job: 33:25).
My condolences go out to the families of Ron and Diane Zalokar. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

The Keller family extends our deepest sympathy for the loss of your parents so close together.
We have fond memories of the many football games your father coached with our father,
Following the move to Kenosha, we didn't see much of you children, but enjoyed many Carthage College events with your parents, especially the basketball games in recent years.
We will miss seeing them at school functions this year, but they will always be in our thoughts and prayers, especially once those basketball games get underway.
Find comfort in knowing they are together once again; and in knowing they are always with you in your hearts.
Sincerely,
Sharon and Alex Matusevicius
Coach Ron was the best teacher I had. He was a big reason I chose to become an educator. I always looked forward to exchanging Christmas cards to keep up with things in Racine-Kenosha. God's blessings to the family. Bill Heinkel
Our sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.
I was saddened to read that your Dad had passed away, and so soon after your Mom. You have my sincerest condolences. I saw your Dad at a fabric shop getting oil for his starting gun a year or two ago. He seemed a little embarrassed when I told him he was the best professor/teacher I had ever had. He will be missed!
