Ronald Jordak

Ron has a special place in my heart. He and my husband Nick went scouting together on Friday nights for the Poynette football team. It was the highlight of Nick's week. Rest in peace you will be greatly missed.

I was in college and grad school with Ron. He was a wonderful, funny, extremely hard working guy universally loved and admired by his fellow students and the faculty. He was a man of great energy and enthusiasms, an extremely hard working artist and honest to the core. I am not surprised by the outpouring of love from his former students and players. Go in peace, Ron.

I had the honor and privilege to be his student, everything I knew about art and how to express my own thoughts, feeling and emotions through art, I learned from him, my senior year I was offered an art scholarship to the Art Institute in Minnesota, a well known school, and I earned that because of Mr. Jordak, he encouraged me to accept it and I thought about it for several months, I had already enlisted in the Marines and he stood by me and supported my decision to that commitment…He will always be remembered in my heart as one of the best teachers, friend and mentor that I have encountered in my life, truly a wonder human being and a sad day for me to learn of his passing. Always remembered, never forgotten…R.I.P. Mr Jordak

I remember him mainly from art class, art club, and chess club. He was a great man and always a teacher. Because of him, that art room was just such a great place to be.

I had the privilege to be his student in class, a player on his team, and later the honor to coach alongside him for Poynette Football. He was a great man and I had many fond memories over the years. Everytime I would see him, I would refer to him as coach. He earned that respect in the truest sense. Thank you Coach, for all you did for me and everyone else. You will be missed.
