Ronald John Nistler

September 23, 1936 - April 30, 2010

Ron was born in Eden Valley, Minnesota on
September 23, 1936. He passed away peacefully on April 30
th, 2010 surrounded by family, after a courageous battle
with pancreatic cancer.
Ron grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and after serving in the
US Army in Germany, he began working at Boeing. He remained with
Boeing for 47 years until his retirement.
His gentle, wise demeanor, incredible integrity, kindness and
loyalty touched many lives. He loved gardening and his lighted
holiday displays were enjoyed by many. Another love was
automobiles, especially Corvettes, having many great memories in
his own. Watching westerns, old movies and basketball was a
favorite pastime-especially when Duke won! He will be dearly
missed.
He is survived by his wife, Jean, of Redmond, daughter, Denise
(Randy) Rankin of Bothell, grandchildren, Michael Humphrey of
Lynnwood, Jonathan Merrill of New York City and Ashley Merrill of
Houston, Texas, as well as three great-grandchildren. His brothers
Jim Nistler of Medford, Oregon and Gene Nistler of Eugene Oregon
and their respective families also survive him.
The family wishes to express special thanks to Dr. Matthew
Lonergan, the Evergreen Cancer Center and Evergreen Hospice Center
for their dedicated, compassionate care during Ron's illness.
