Ron loved his family, and he loved the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. He was a dedicated Scouter from Webelos leader to Scoutmaster to District Commissioner. His other big love was the Buckskinner and living history style of camping, where he met many lifelong friends and taught others to love it, too.
