Ron proudly enlisted in the United States Navy at just 17 years old. During his service, he worked aboard the USS Constitution and the USS Brownson DD-868. After his military career, Ron served as a police officer and detective for the Wayne Township Police Department—now the Huber Heights Police Department—and later retired from the Riverside Police Department. He also worked as a security officer at Good Samaritan Hospital. Ron loved attending The Great Darke County Fair and was an enthusiastic fan of the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Cubs, Boston Celtics, and The Ohio State Buckeyes.

His heart was especially big when it came to animals, all of which he loved like family. Above all, Ron cherished his grandchildren, finding great joy in listening to Luke and Toby chatter about anything and everything. Ron's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the staff at Upper Valley Medical Center for their excellent care.
