Ronald L. Sensor

Ronald L. Sensor, a lifelong resident of South Elgin and Elgin, Illinois, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at the age of 86. Born on January 25, 1940, Ronald's life was a testament to devotion, passion, and love for his family, community, and interests.

Ron is lovingly remembered by his sons, Jeffrey and Kevin (Susan), and cherished as a devoted grandfather to Ron A. (Samantha), Eric (Alyse), Sarah (Ian), and Kate (fiancé Tyler Obradovitz). He adored his great-grandchildren, Lila, Dominic, Ron R. "Remy", J.T., Everett, Roman, and Lily, and shared a special bond with his sister, Martha Ahrens.

Throughout his life, Ron found joy and fulfillment in many pursuits. He was an avid camper, a loyal Chicago Bears fan, and an enthusiastic fisherman. His hands were never idle as he crafted beautiful pieces through woodworking. His adventurous spirit took him traveling whenever the opportunity arose, including exciting ventures into stock and Indy car racing. However, above all else, he cherished every moment spent with his family, especially his grandchildren, securing a lasting legacy of love and warmth.
