He was a long time member of the Auburn Boat Club, Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Buck Fever Rod and Gun Club.

He regularly attended, most recently online, church services at St. Paul's UCC of Summer Hill.

Ron was a loving husband and devoted father and grandfather. His sense of humor was unmatched. He enjoyed spending time with his family and on his boat. He could fix anything and was often found doing odd jobs or projects, using what others often considered trash to make something useful.

He would be proud to know that he was able to be an organ donor despite thinking it was no longer possible due to his health issues. He was always willing to help someone in need.
