Sad news

Crockery Lake neighbors have lost a beloved couple, Ron and Geri Pawloski, who were summer residents of Crockery Lake throughout their married life. Ron passed peacefully on December 15, 2025, followed by Geri on December 27, 2025.

Ron’s family owned the little green cottage on the north side of the lake for generations, and Ron and Geri raised their family while spending cherished summers there. Ron faithfully served on the Crockery Lake Association Board of Directors and was a familiar, friendly presence around the lake. Many will remember seeing him sitting at the end of his dock fishing, or walking along Crockery Shores Road—always happy to stop and share one of his wonderful stories about life and the lake.

Ron and Geri continued to enjoy hosting their large family, who gathered each summer for time together on the lake. The joyful sounds of laughter from both adults and children carried along their shoreline, bringing smiles to all who heard them.

Ron and Geri will be deeply missed. May their family find peace and comfort in the many beautiful memories they created—especially those made at Crockery Lake.
