Ron’s journey in life was marked by his dedication and passion for his work, his friends, his volunteering at the Towers/Meals on Wheels for 13 years. Ron was a avid clock and watch collector. In his free time Ron enjoyed spending time in the community visiting with friends. He knew no stranger, he would sit at our local Wal-Mart greeting everyone who passed with a smile and if you were lucky, a sit down for a story of his.

Ron battled his illness with dignity and strength like the warrior he was at heart. He fought to be around all those who he loved for as long as he could. Ron could not have done that without the wonderful care he received from his amazing healthcare providers Dr Phil Stitzer of Moberly, Missouri; Dr. Julie Stansfield, Jamie and Teresa, RN’s and the entire white team at Harry S.
