Ron was born in Columbus, Ohio on December 2, 1946. A few years after graduating Central High School and their machinist trade school program, he moved to Florida to pursue employment opportunities in the construction industry. Ron then gained experience and knowledge over the years working as a machinist, welder, mechanic and more. Ron was proud of the 21 years he served at the City of Punta Gorda. He retired in 2013 after serving in the waste water, fleet maintenance and sanitation departments.
Ron had a great sense of humor, a big heart and was a wonderful teacher sharing his knowledge with friends and family whether it be working on household projects or pulling small engines apart. He enjoyed being with people and was always willing to help in any way he could. His interests included eagles, boating, fishing, diving, camping, trains, car racing and anything mechanical.
