Ron dabbled in many different vocations before settling in to becoming a master cabinet maker, owning several cabinets shops throughout his career. Forever a motorcycling enthusiast, he traveled across the United States with mom, Ron Jr. and Wayne. The Sturgis Bike Rallies were his favorite, he won several awards for his Harley 'The Blue Angel' and completed the Dragon Run twice!!! Once with Linnea, and once with Ron and his grandsons Zach and Jessie. He obtained his pilot's license and enjoyed bringing anybody willing enough up for a ride. Ron has left behind an amazing legacy of memories so numerous that they could last a lifetime of storytelling. We will miss his mischievous naughty streak and his sense of humor and adventure. We know you are up there rejoicing in your reunion with mom and Ronald, take as good of care of them as you did with us here. Rest in peace dad and may your spirit fly free!
