Ron was born on October 10, 1950 in Chester, Connecticut; he is the son of Henry Ford Wadkins and Florence Kinrade Wadkins. Ron was raised in Columbus and graduated from Jordan High in 1969. Ron was introduced to Anne Prince, while attending Columbus College; they have been married for 45 years, June 2, 1972.
Ron worked as an office manager for Columbus Store Equipment. Golfing is something Ron really enjoyed and was fortunate enough to be able to share that with one of his granddaughters. It allowed him to combine the two things he loved most Family and Golf. Ron loves his family and they love him. In true Paw Paw style he would show his love in many ways, especially by lovingly picking and teasing with his grandchildren.
Ron is preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include his wife; Anne, a daughter Carrie, son-in-law Jason Bennett; two granddaughters, Makenzie Johnson, Abigail Cook; and a grandson Parker Gibson.
