PEDRO, RONALD EUGENE
Age 70, a native of Bloomington, Indiana and resident of Hammond, 
Louisiana, Ron passed away on Monday, June 25, 2012 at his residence. He 
was a consummate poet, pilot, and professor. His achievements ranged from 
several master degrees to a doctorate in philosophy and criminal justice 
administration. He is a seasoned author of "The Gathering Chase in Other 
Verse," and "Policy and Procedure as a Prelude to Peril." Professionally he 
served as an international airline Captain for delta airlines. After his 
retirement, he was a professor in Criminal Justice at several universities, 
most recently at Southern University in New Orleans, where he was admired 
by his students of faculty. His passions ranged from the thrill of flight, 
his devoted and loving wife "Suzi", his beloved menagerie of animals, and 
his deceased mother in law. He dedicated his community spirit in Hammond, 
Louisiana, as reigning king omega XVIII along with his wife, Queen Suzanne.
Ron leaves behind his wife of 16 years, Suzanne Zazulak Pedro; children, 
Roshera Autrey, Cheress Steinhorst and husband Todd, (daughters of Ron and 
Sharon 1962-1967); Candace Olivia Pedro, Ronald "Ronnie" Pedro, Jr., Ava 
Pedro, (children of Ron and Olivia Collier Pedro 1975 - 1998), along with 
his grandchildren, Chad, Spencer, Josh, Zaden and Lyla; great-
granddaughter, Lily Marie Autrey. He is also survived by his half-sister, 
Jericho Poplar and half-brother, Philip Poplar.  Preceding Ron in death 
were his son, John Pedro; parents, Albert and Mary Pedro.  Relatives and 
friends of the family are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at. St. 
Albert the Great Catholic Church in Hammond on Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 
10:30 a.m., with visiting hours beginning at 10:00 a.m. Fr. Randy Cuevas 
will celebrate the Mass.  Condolences and other information are available
