Ron graduated from Aurora Hinkley High School in 1977. Ron worked as an auto mechanic, construction worker and appliance repairman. Ron was a wonderful uncle to his nieces and a dog-father to Tabby and Patti. He enjoyed gardening, fishing, fly tying, hiking and camping. His passion was gold and silver prospecting which he pursued since he was 20 years old. He taught his niece about processing and helped spark her interest in geology and rocks at a young age.
His life and memories will be celebrated by his immediate family, sister Marsha Wooley and brother-in-law Peter Wilson of Mesa, Arizona and his nieces, Marisa and Liana.
