After leaving the service he graduated from USF, and moved to Marin in 1970.

He is survived by his son Robert, daughter-in-law Jennifer, his grandchildren Isobel and Nicholas, daughter Laura and her partner Aaron, and his beloved companion Karoline Fekete. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, November 7th at Mount Tamalpais Cemetery Chapel, 2500 5th Ave., San Rafael.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Ron's family. I remember our younger days when my Aunt Elsie would bring him for a visit. We had lots of cousins in those days. It was always a pleasure to visit with him by phone in these later years. We always meant to get together. We know he will be missed by his family of whom he spoke so fondly.

I was sad to hear of Ron's passing so young in life. I was hoping to meet him again one day since I never had much chance to come to know him well. I am so glad to hear his family was with him and my heart goes out to them in their sorrow. Love till we all meet again.
