Ron loved all kinds of motor sports, but his passion was dirt late-model racing, which he loved being involved with and had spent many of his precious years helping his friends with their race cars.
Ron was employed as both general manager and retail sales associate during his 24 years with Jack Williams Tire Co. Inc., at the Moosic location and, more recently, the Berwick location.

At this time, the family also expresses their heartfelt gratitude to all of the physicians, nurses and staff in the Adult Intensive Care Unit, 4 West section, of Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, for their loving and compassionate care of our beloved Ron.
