GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ronald Levesque, 65, of Port Orange, Fla., went to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 4, 2007, at Shand’s Hospital in Gainesville, Fla., following a short illness.

Ronald was born in Lewiston, the son of the late Raymond and Eugenie (Roy) Levesque.

He was a retired sales manager with Nissen Baking Co. and settled in Crane Lake Golf and Country Club, Port Orange.

Survivors include Lorraine, who was his loving wife and best friend for 43 years; Jeff, his son and best “buddy;” and his special daughter, Patricia Levesque, who resides in Monmouth.

He was also the proud grandfather of “Danielle,” who held a special place in his heart.

He is also survived by two sisters, Ann Jalbert and Rachel Jacques, both of Lewiston.

Ronnie will best be remembered for his strong faith, his loyalty to his family and his great love for all his friends. He was forever organizing get-togethers, loved being the center of attention and brought laughter to many. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
