A unique and heartfelt tribute to Elfinwild Life Member Ronald Tiedeman, who passed away January 6, 2021.

Friends and neighbors, the Poropatich Family, donated this special bookshelf to the children’s section of the Shaler North Hills Library in his honor. Mrs. Tiedeman and son, Ron Jr., were on hand June 23, 2021 to receive the gift.

Ron, “Mr. T,” joined Elfinwild in the early 1970s and served as a firefighter and executive board member, ran on the ambulance in those early days, and later with the Shaler Fire Police team.

Thank you to the Poropatich Family for this kind remembrance, and to the Tiedeman Family for sharing Ron with the fire department and the community.
