YOLI-Ron "Captain Ron," 48, born and raised in Huntington N.Y. and a former
captain in Montauk's charter boat fleet, died July 1, 2005 suddenly and
unexpectedly just before a second honeymoon with his wife, Barbara (Bobbie).
Captain Ron was an avid fisherman, both freshwater and saltwater, and had
moved to Florida four years ago so that he could fish full time. His wife,
Barbara, is a former Newsday employee. Known for his love of fishing, Captain
Ron was an expert tackle designer, and his fishing lures were still widely
used by the Montauk fleet and had been featured in several national magazines.
Until stricken by a severe hearing loss and debilitating tinnitus, Ron was
co-owner of an advertising and plastic card company. He was an avid supporter
and counselor to the many people who were afflicted by the disease of
tinnitus. He is survived by his loving wife of 18 years, Barbara; his brothers
Kenneth, Joseph, Gerald, and Leonard; his nieces, Jennifer, Laurie and
Theresa; his nephews Andrew, Brian, Kevin, and Matthew; his sisters-in-law
Barbara, Caroline, Mary Lucia and Susan; his brothers-in law James and Jim;
his mother-in-law Nancy; and his cherished little nephews, David and Patrick.
A funeral mass was held for Captain Yoli in Florida on July 7, 2005. For his
many friends on Long Island, the family will hold a prayer service on July 16,
2005 at 6:00 p.m. at Gin Beach, East Lake Drive, Montauk, New York. In lieu of
flowers, the family asks that donations be sent in the name of Captain Ron
Yoli to the American Tinnitus Association (website http://www.ata.org).
