He was born on April 23, 1947, to Frank Vincent Arrigo and Evelyn Loretta Barding in Muskegon, Michigan. In addition to his parents, he is also preceded in death by his wife, Brenda Carolyn Arrigo.
Ron was a talented artist, and enjoyed bass fishing. He was a Draftsman and Contractor by trade. Ron was well-liked, and acquired many friendships.
