Ronald Joseph "Rapper" Krystofiak, 52, of Coatesville, PA, passed

He was born in Dunkirk, November 15, 1970, son of Ronald James

people happy
and having a good time. He had a big heart, contagious laugh, was
generous, and loved to reach out to help others whenever he could.
He touched many peoples' lives throughout the years. Ron especially
loved carrying on a conversation on any topic big or small beginning
at an early age, thus earning his nickname "Rapper".
