Ron was someone that had a hard outer shell, but once you got to know him, you quickly realized he was kind and cared deeply for his loved ones. He was a man of great depth, had a strong constitution, and deep convictions about the things that mattered most.

Ron was a sports man through and through, loved to laugh, and get in a good zinger wherever and whenever he could!
