Ron was born Saturday, October 18, 1941, and went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, April 25, 2016. 

Ron grew up in Akron, Ohio. He graduated from Ellet High School and Akron University. He had many occupations ranging from the setting of bowling pins in the 1950’s to programming satellite receivers. Ron was an excellent bowler and participated in some of the best bowling in Akron. He also enjoyed playing the game of golf in leagues and with friends.

We would like to thank all of our many friends who offered their prayers, love and support on behalf of our family.
