1. Ronald Prentice was b. c. 1910-1919 and, according to his wife's obituary, d. in 1997.

He m. Gladys Margaret Christianson who was b. 3 Jul 1915 in Rockford, IL, dau. of Alfred Christianson and Olga Walberg, and d. 24 Aug 2004 (per Obit. in Naples Daily News). She had lived with her daughter, Margo for the last nine years. Children (per her obituary):

1. Cyndy Prentice. She m. Harley Vredevoogd of Grandville, MI.
2. Margo Prentice. She m. Mr. Osterink of Naples, FL.

Gladys' obituary relates that she left seven grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Ronald in 1997. Funeral services were held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Gladys' loving memory could be made to Hospice of Naples, 1095 Whippoorwill Lane, Naples, FL 34105. Funeral arrangements were under the directions of: Naples Memorial Funeral Home, Cemetery and Crematory, 525 111th Avenue, Naples, FL. 239597-3101.

He might be the Ronald Prentice shown in the SSDI as b. 29 Nov 1909, who obtained his SS# in CT, and who d. Sep 1978 in FL. He may also be the same person shown in FL Death Index as: Ronald H Prentice, b. 29 Nov 1909 and d. 29 Sep 1978 at Indian River, FL.

There is a chance that Ronald Prentice might be the son of Clarence H. Prentis, b. c. 1887, MA, who appears in the 1930 census in Milton, Norfolk, MA, with his wife, Frances, b. c. 1889, MA, and children:

1. Ronald Prentice, b. c. 1909-10, MA
2. Phillip M. Prentice, b. c. 1912, MA.
3. Robert A. Prentice, b. c. 1921, MA.

A Masschusetts birth place would not necessarily be inconsistent with a CT SS# for Ronald since his family may later have moved to CT.

Clarence H. Prentis is a descendant of Henry Prentice and is #157.1 in our Prentice eBook.
