Ron had many hobbies including volunteering, being a HAM radio operator, playing cards, tinkering, fishing with his grandkids, and relaxing out at Pymatuning.

Ron was not only a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, but he believed in giving back to the community that he lived in.

Ron and Gwen were also recognized by RSVP Lake County with Outstanding Senior Citizen Award.

Ron's first career was with Ohio Bell/Ameritech as a splicing technician. After retiring from the phone company he completed Ohio Peace Officer Training at Lakeland Community College and worked at Perry Village Police Department as a patrol officer and in the Probation Department of Mentor Municipal Court.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years Gwen (nee Stibich); children, Sarah (Jim) Bissett, and Michael; brother, Dennis Corban; grandchildren, Corbin and Jennifer Bissett; and uncle to many.
