He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1957 and proudly served until 1961. Ron married Madeline Kay Clapp on January 20, 1962 in Dwight, IL. In 1996 they moved to Tallahassee, Florida to be closer to their daughter Debra Kay Christensen (Laura Towne) and daughter Christine Hill (Richard) as well as their granddaughter Zoie Hill.
Ron’s brother Donald preceded him in death.
Ron retired from Publix Supermarkets in 2011 after 15 years of employment.
He was a big fan and enjoyed watching White Sox baseball and Chicago Bears football. He also enjoyed being on the beach and watching the dolphins at St. George Island.
No formal service will be held. Ron will be interred in the Tallahassee National Cemetery at a later date.
