Ronald Feldhouse Obituary
Meriden is known as the "Crossroads of Connecticut," which may have been auspicious of Ron's lifelong rambling ways. Never one to gather moss, he traveled the United States extensively - side to side and top to bottom. Famously, Ron bicycled from Flagstaff to Fairbanks where, ultimately, he made his home.
When asked about his nomadic tendencies, Ron simply said, "I just don't like being tied down." Fiercely independent, Ron never bought in, never sold out and stayed true to himself til the day he died. Despite a gruff exterior, Ron had a real heart of gold.
Ron told great stories of wilder times but also liked his regular routine. He believed in being honest and was curious to a fault. A hard worker and incredibly resourceful, nothing went to waste on Ron's watch. He could fix absolutely anything.
Ron was much loved by those who knew him and is dearly missed. He leaves behind family and friends across the country. In honor of Ron's free spirit, enjoy a good cup of coffee in a beautiful place and admire the sky.

Ron loved giving me "rabbit holes to fall down" (obscure topics on historical figures, geography, space - anything to learn about) & would quiz me to make sure I did my homework.
We had coffee & conversations most mornings - I miss his good company something fierce. See ya, Ron.

He was a regular in at the library, and such a neat guy to converse with, once you got past his sometimes grumbly exterior. I've missed seeing him around, and I'm so sorry to know that he's left us behind. Happy travels Ron!

I am so sorry to hear that we've lost Ron. I'll miss seeing him at the library. He always had a friendly greeting and a smile.
Condolences to his family and friends.
