Ronald W. Hermann Sr.

1934 - 2016

Dec. 23, 1934 - Jan. 9, 2016 Ron passed in peace at his home on January 9, 2016 at the age of 81. Ron was born in Auburn and raised in Sacramento. He was predeceased by his mother and stepfather, Juanita and Edward Hermann, father, Bill Medeiros, and brother, Marty Hermann. Ron's talents were many and varied. He was a boxer, clown, mechanic, construction worker, truck driver, Sacramento reserve Police Officer, and tree trimmer. However, his true vocation came as a Sacramento Firefighter from which he retired. Ever active, after retirement he continued to operate his "Code 3 Catering" service. Youth baseball was one of Ron's passions. He served as a coach, field mgr., and president for River Park Little League. The Babe Ruth Org. was his next stop. Ron was instrumental in the construction of the baseball fields behind CSUS. He enjoyed the position of No. Cal. State Commissioner of B.R.B.B. for many years, overseeing tournaments in many states. Other Orgs. Ron belonged to that benefited from his volunteer work were the F.F. 10-7 club, Sacto. F.F. Burn Center, Pioneer Mutual Hook and Ladder Society, Newman Catholic Comm., F.F. Local 522, and Knights of Columbus. Even though his activities were numerous, family came first. Attendance at his children's functions and events was paramount. All major holidays were celebrated at "dad's house." Ron is survived by his wife of 52 years, Bobbie, children Ron II, Mark, Matt, and Kathy, 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Mass followed by a reception will be held at 11am on Thursday, Jan 21 at the Newman Center, 5900 Newman Ct., Sacramento.
