Ronald Dean Bumpus

Born on March 29th, 1939, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, to Clyde and Wilma Bumpus. Ron was a United States Army veteran and was awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for exceptional skills on the firing range, earning the Sharpshooter Marksmanship Badge with rifle qualification. He spent 40 years as an airplane inspector at McDonnell Douglas, where he was well respected for never missing a day of work.
