Ronald grew up in Hartford, Connecticut.  After graduating high school, he enlisted in the Navy from 1962-1966.  During this time, he met Sally and after only three days, a dare amongst friends led to 60 years of marriage.  A loving husband, father, and grandfather, Ron was larger than life with his laughter, making people smile with his quick wit.

A lover of nature, hunting and fishing, he enjoyed traveling to many national and state parks, his favorite being Yellowstone National Park, and later in life traveled to the Arctic Circle in Alaska caribou hunting. He enjoyed deer hunting in MN and WI, fishing for redfish in Louisiana and traveled to Oregon many times to visit family & friends.

The most charismatic Oscar the Grouch.  He had many friends, volunteered for many years in the community to help others and held his civic duties in high regard.   He is loved and will be dearly missed.
