His marriage to the love of his life, Donna Liebe took place on April 24, 1976 in Stevens Point.
He worked for the Stevens Point School District as the head mechanic for over 38 years until his retirement in 2014.
Ron was a very kind hearted, gentle man who enjoyed fishing, hunting, polka music, his cabin in the Northwoods, the Chicago Cubs, the mighty Packers, Nascar Racing and casino runs with his wife, very special sister and brother in laws, Coz and Jerome and Diane and Keith. Most of all Ron enjoyed spending time with his family. The last two years he spent his retirement caring for the grand kids as the world's best "Manny."

To the family of Ron Bella,
I am very sorry to hear you have lost Ron. I worked with Ron in the 1980's and we had some good times. I have memories of "snowball fights" in the bus garage, lighting off fireworks in the bus yard and softball games of Friday nights and Goerke park. He has left me with good memories and again I'm sorry to learn of his passing. May God bring you peace and strength during this tough time.
