Ron attended Lewiston High School in Lewiston, Maine. He later served his country with pride in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969 as part of the First Signal Brigade, 160th Signal Group. His military service remained an important part of his life, and he carried that identity with deep pride for many years.

He volunteered with the American Legion, the Legion Honor Guard, Jackson County Election Voting Sites, Legacy Christian Church, Adam Dairy Golf Course, Lee Summit’s Saint Luke’s Hospital, and Underwood Elementary School. Each of these roles reflected the steady, practical way he chose to serve others.

He was a member of the Lee's Summit Legacy Christian Church and enjoyed spending time with Pastor Blake. Ron had a gift for conversation and made people feel at ease. He could talk to anyone and always seemed able to make new friends wherever he went.

Ron was also known for the interests that brought him joy and drew him closer to those he loved. He enjoyed golfing with his brother, son-in-law, and grandsons, creating many special memories together on the golf course. He was a devoted supporter of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Royals and enjoyed cheering on his favorite teams. He especially enjoyed going to the New Theater for special daughter dates, making memories filled with laughter, good conversation, and time together.

Above all, Ron was a loyal and devoted husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend. He showed compassion to everyone he met and served others not only through volunteer work, but through the kindness and love he shared throughout his life. Most of all, Ron loved with all his heart. His friendship, compassion, and genuine love for others touched many lives.
