Ron was a Union Carpenter, retiring in 1998. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping and riding ATVs in the Arizona desert.

Ron is preceded in death by his parents and brother. He is survived by his wife, Pam, sister Arleen and husband Gary Santos, his daughter Karen and husband Tom Osborn, his son John and wife Kathy Jeffries, 6 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

Ron was a very special friend. 40 + years ago we would go hunting together. He was the deer slayer always in the right place at the right time. We had a lot of fun laughable memories...

Ron, I will miss you buddy, enjoying our coffee sitting in your garage after "Hon" (Pam) brought it out to us. Our walks down the Kelly Road checking our neighborhood out. Getting all your wisdom from you watching Jeopardy every night. I miss you buddy. Pam is an amazing woman!
Your old friend Jerry!
