Ron was born Aug. 2, 1952, and raised in San Angelo and went on to graduate from Central High School. In 1974, he earned his bachelor of science in physics with honors from the University of Texas. He then received a master's degree in business administration at Angelo State University in 1979. He worked for the Texas Department of Transportation and the City of San Angelo before starting his company, Greystone Engineering. Ron was a civil engineer, planner and surveyor; his work touched many areas of San Angelo including subdivisions, golf courses, new construction and more. His keen business sense and attention to detail ensured the success of Greystone, which he ran for 28 years up until his death.
