He always loved helping others and would often be called upon for his skills. Ron was a jack-of-all trades. He could fix anything and had a wealth of knowledge when it came to cars and home repairs. He also had a talent for landscaping so he designed beautiful gardens for his wife in their yards. He had a great sense of humor and loved a challenge. He always seemed to know the answer to any question especially concerning history.
