Ron was born on July 27, 1962 in Moline, IL to Leonard and Nancy Schulte. Following high school, he started his apprenticeship and went on to work for WF Scott Decorating; he retired in 2018. Ron was united in marriage to Cynthia Friedman on March 26, 1988. He enjoyed golfing, a cold Coors Light on a hot day in his pool, and dinner parties with family and friends. Ron’s second love, after his family, was his Jeep. He was very talented and loved to work with his hands. If Ron could think of it, he could build it, fix it, or paint it.
