Ronald Raymond Pofahl

June 18, 1943 - November 2, 2016

Ronald Raymond Pofahl Ron was born June 18, 1943 to Mylon and Delores Pofahl in Minnesota Lake, Minnesota. The Pofahl family left the family farm in Minnesota in 1958 and set off for the west coast, settling in Corvallis, Oregon. Ron graduated from Corvallis High School in 1961 and went on to have a successful career at Evans Products in Corvallis just down the street from the family-owned Stein Tavern. Ron was a kind man, with a heart as big as this world, and was loved by all who met him. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who always made time for his family. If you knew Ron, you knew that wink and smile… it would make your day. A man in every sense of the word, Ron was as handy with a hammer as he was with a pool cue, loved fishing, classic cars, and always put the needs of others before his own. Ron passed away at Timberview Care Center in Albany, Oregon surrounded by loved ones on the morning of Wednesday, November 2, 2016 as a result of complications from a stroke. Ron is survived by his wife Janet, his siblings Dennis, Larry, David and LaJean, his children Cathy and Brian, his step-children Tina and Tammy, and a boat-load of grandkids, who will all miss him very much. Family and friends are invited to Ron’s Celebration of Life, 3:30 pm, Friday, Nov, 4th at Demoss-Durdan Funeral Chapel 815 NW Buchanan Avenue Corvallis.
