There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for them; from day to day errands to taking them on vacation up and down the East Coast of the United States. Ron could be seen picking them up from school in the car line or taking them to their after school activities. He was best known for not only getting them from place to place, but also making sure they were fed with an endless supply of snacks. His grandchildren and his family were his life, even up until his last hospital stay. He could be found cheering one of them on at sporting events, taking college classes, pick up and drop offs at the airport to just name a few.
