Ron has been gone only a couple of months, but over half a century of wonderful memories with him will last a long time. Ron was a peaceful influence and an inspiration throughout everything he did – being with his family, being a leader in the building of the Elmira-Corning Astronomical Observatory, meticulously turning hunks of rock into beautifully polished jewelry gems, or just being Ron.
One memorable occasion was when Ron, his elementary age Daughter Michelle, I and my elementary age son Chris, paddled (and sweat) our way down the Chemung River taking second place in the Corning to Elmira canoe race. He also enjoyed sailing on Keuka Lake, hiking up the long ravine to the swimmable pool at the bottom of the waterfall, or just enjoying the great outdoors.
After Hurricane Agnes put the Maurer family in a HUD trailer in 1972, Ron didn’t fret – he bought and rebuilt the beautiful home which Gisele still lives in.
Ron took members of his family all around the world, visiting many places which few people get to see, and then sharing the experience with others in creative slide presentations.
Yes, Ron was not a flamboyant person you would read about in the media – he was a loving friend who you would enjoy being with. And Ron, we now look back with thankfulness that you gave us the opportunity to be with you. Ron, you are the essence of what turns homo sapiens into civilized creatures that makes life worth living. Thanks for sharing your life with me. You and Ricky are now together looking down on us.

So sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. Sending fond memories, love and prayers for your family. Fred admired and respected Ron very much when he worked with him at DR. I remember well his humor and patience when we visited Michelle during the school years. Sending regards to your family, Gisele, Michelle, Claire, Mark, Jessica, Logan and Lexi. Praying for comfort for you all.
