Ronald was born and raised in New York. Ronald met Deborar in 1996 in New Mexico and they became a family. Ronald served in the United States Air Force in the late 1950’s, then went on to driving tanker trucks to support his family. He and Deborar had many good years together and when Ron’s health started to fail, they decided the Ozarks was a great choice to re-locate, since Ron absolutely loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and everything the Ozarks had to offer. Most days Ron could be found piddling around in the yard or in his shop, doing anything to stay busy, he was happiest when he had something to work on.
Ron was a kind, peaceful, soft-spoken man, never raising his voice. He made a lot of friends over the years and had many more in New Mexico that he never forgot. He enjoyed being with his family and was friendly and kind to everyone he met.
