Obituary via Neidhard Young Funeral Home

Ronald G. Ludeke. Beloved husband of Patricia (nee Keller) Ludeke. Dear father of Marc (Mary) Ludeke, Todd (Tonya) Ludeke and the late Scot Ludeke. Dear brother of Norman (Audrey) Hassert, the late Ralph Ludeke and the late Ray Hassert. Also survived by nieces and nephews. Ron passed away on Saturday, December 10, 2022. He was 87 years old. Mr. Ludeke retired after 40 years of service to Cincinnati Bell.  An avid golfer, in his retirement Ron worked at Winton Woods golf course for 14 years. Ron also loved exercising and was at the YMCA or a zumba class almost every day where he was usually the oldest and most enthusiastic participant in the classes he took.  A class he took in his twenties sparked a life-long interest in photography and Ron was the memorialist of his family’s camping trips throughout the United States where they visited many national parks. His love of the outdoors was evident to anyone who saw his backyard which was an oasis of Oak trees and a natural wildlife-friendly area he referred to as his “jungle.” His greatest enjoyment, however, was his family and his love of his wife Pat and his three sons who were each special to him in their own way.

Visitation will be held at Neidhard Young Funeral Home, 7401 Hamilton Avenue, Mt. Healthy on Saturday, December 17, 2022 from 9 AM until time of Memorial Service at 11 AM. Memorials may be directed to the Cincinnati Zoo at cincinnatizoo.org or the Ruth Lyons Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 59, Cincinnati, OH 45201.
