To describe Ron was to know him; Strong, capable, multi-faceted, funny, respected, and most of all loved.  Ron will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Ron lived life to the fullest, giving to others through his actions.  Ron was a member of Masonic Lodge #389 in Ironwood, Michigan, Shriners, Order of the Eastern Star and many other masonic organizations.  You would see Ron volunteering to sell Vidalia Onions or riding in parades on mini trucks, motorcycles and more just to see the children in many communities smile!  Ron was an avid fly fisherman and guided for many years.  Ron was honored in the Fins and Feather publication with his own fly-fishing lure “Ron's Rogue”.  When not fishing, he would pursue many of his other interests of leather work, gold and silversmith, rock hounding, and Ham Radio-KG3Q.
