Ron enjoyed golfing, reading, traveling and spending time with his friends and family, especially his companion Myrna. Ron served 12 years in the U.S. Navy, serving in the Vietnam War. Ron worked at the Springfield Waste Water Treatment Plant until retiring in 2004.
Ron was an awesome man and one of a kind. He was kind, caring and compassionate and would do anything in the world for his family. He will be missed more than words can express. "Dear Ron, rest in peace. We love you forever."
