Ronald grew up and went to school in Durant. He was employed with Rustin Concrete for 22 years before owning and operating his own backhoe service for 19 years retiring in 2007 due to losing his eyesight. Ronald enjoyed working and operating heavy equipment.
Ronald was a simple man. He loved being around his family and eating all kinds of foods. Ronald was not a fisherman or hunter but his work was relaxation for him.
