Ron had a sweet tooth that was legendary among his family and friends. His fondness for desserts was well known, with oatmeal cookies, famous family cheese bars, apple pie, chocolate cake, and Door County cherry turnovers being among his favorites. His love for these sweet treats brought a sense of warmth and comfort to family gatherings, and his enthusiastic enjoyment was a sight to behold.
Ron's life was marked by kindness, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to his family and work. His legacy of love, hard work, and passion for life will live on in the hearts and minds of those he has left behind.
