Ronald J. Busch's Obituary
Monday, October 11, 2004, Ronald J. Busch, aged 57, of Muskegon, MI, received his first of many hard-earned rewards: seeing his Lord. Ron lived to please God. He patterned his life after the great biblical leader Joshua. He was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, a gifted Bible teacher, and a dear friend. His life and full-time ministry has touched the lives of thousands from the youngest child to the oldest adult. He was a competitive athlete and coach and an inspiring college professor. He also served as Executive Director at Winona Lake Bible Conference (1984-1988) and Maranatha Bible and Missionary Conference (1988-2000). He was privileged to serve as a board member for RBC Ministries and subsequently joined the organization as a contributing writer. Ron is preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Barbara. He is survived by his brothers Henry and Jon, his sister Lauralee Caldwell, his wife Francine, son Douglas (Crystal), daughter Michele Vigil (Phillip), son Stephen (Trisha), and two grandchildren. A memorial service to honor Ron will be held at Calvary Church (5873 Kendra) in Fruitport, MI at 1:00 PM Thursday, October 14 with Pastor Bill Rudd officiating. The family will greet relatives and friends from 2-4 & 6-8 PM today at
