Passed at 67 on February 14th 2011 in Peoria, Arizona. He was born August 27th, 1943; Bronx, New York to his parents Albert and Ethel Koller. He is survived by his loving wife Kathleen Rutledge Swern, his sons Allan Scott Swern, Eric David Swern, and daughter Samara Maia Swern Bailey, his grandchildren Briana Swern, Conner Hoit, Preslee Swern, and Logan Bailey, and his sister Harriett Alpert. Ron started working in the nuclear industry in 1967 after completing his studies in New York. He served his country in the USAF during the Vietnam era. Ron enjoyed many hobbies such as hiking, landscaping, and gardening. He was an avid donator to charities including The Arizona Humane Society and the Kidney and Diabetes Foundation. But most of all he was a dedicated father and loved his family. He will be greatly missed. We will all keep him in our hearts. Graveside services are being held at Sunland Mortuary located in Sun City Arizona on February 17th, 2011 at noon and officiated by Rabbi Rosenberg. In lieu of flowers our family is requesting that a donation be made in memory of Ron to either the Arizona Humane Society or World Wildlife Foundation, as he was an avid animal lover.
