Vaughan's Funeral Home
Ronald Gene Moddelmog
( June 09, 1942 - June 18, 2016 )
Ron Moddelmog of San Antonio, TX, passed away on Saturday, June 18, 2016 at the age of 74.
Ron was born to parents William and Viola Moddelmog on June 9, 1942 in Clay Center, KS. He was raised on a dairy farm, the second oldest of nine children, where he worked from dawn to dusk, rode a horse named Toby to school and drove an 18 passenger school bus at the age of 16. He went on to attend college at Emporia State University where he starred on the football team, was the president of the Sig Ep house, a member of the Blue Key Honor Society and self-appointed BMOC. It was after he served a tour in Vietnam that he met his soul mate and the love of his life when she sat on his lap at the Bourbon Barrel.
He began his long and storied career in education as a graduate assistant at Emporia State and retired after 37 years as the high school counselor and golf coach in Seminole, OK. His tenure in Seminole included five state championship golf teams, three of which were with the girls program that he started himself. His countless hours spent on golf courses around the state (and in the choir room in inclement weather) teaching the game of golf and the meaning of life shaped hundreds of young men and women. Everyone who played for him carries his “Ron-isms†with them to this day. You should always “grip it and rip it†and “turn, turnâ€. “If I had a nickel, I would think Wall Street was an alley.†“If I’m lyin’, I’m dyin’.†“That was a mother-in-law shot…looked good leavin’.†“If I were any better, I’d be twins.†“ Make it a great day!†“It’s GREAT to be alive!†It should be noted that his wife taught him to play golf, and he shot his age on numerous occasions from the time he was 71.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years Julie Moddelmog of Fair Oaks Ranch, TX, his daughter and son-in-law Kimberly and Zak Arthurs and their two children Reed and Rogan of San Antonio, TX and his son and daughter-in-law Brian and Megan Moddelmog and their three kids Addison, Camdyn and William of Sugar Land, TX. Additionally, he is survived by brothers Lyle Moddelmog and his wife Carol, Wayne Moddelmog and his wife Sharon, Dennis Moddelmog and his wife Kathy, Mark Moddelmog and his wife Lynn and sisters Phyllis Propp and her huband Ken, Sharon Moddelmog and her husband Harold Jenson, Beverly O’toole, Marietta Neuhold and her husband Walter and many, many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, June 23rd at 11am at the First United Methodist Church of Boerne, located at 205 James St in Boerne, TX. A celebration of his life will be held thereafter at his favorite place, Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his name to either the First Tee of San Antonio or the First Tee of Oklahoma City.

I'M NOW FULFILL FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOAN I GOT FROM Mr Benjamin Lee .I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i came in contact with Mr Benjamin after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then I set out to seek for funds online where I lost $3,670 that I borrowed from friends which I was rip off by two online loan companies. Until i read about Mr Benjamin Lee helping people with an loan online in which this email was stated (247officedept@gmail.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convinced because of what i have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme at a very low interest rate of 2%% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I have no choice than to also contact them which i did through text +1-989-394-3740 and Mr Benjamin responded back to me That day was the I'M best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when i receive a credit alert of $400,000.00 Usd loan amount i applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a business and today I and my kids are so happy and fulfilled. You can as well contact them through email: (247officedept@gmail.com) WhatsApptext helpline: +1-989-394-3740 Why am i doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan not to be victims of scams on the internet. Thanks and God bless you all, I'm Oleksander Artem from Horizon Park BC , Ukrain.
