Ron graduated from New Philadelphia High School in 1967 and he was employed as a truck driver most recently with Sugarcreek Cartage.

He enjoyed motorcycles and especially enjoyed riding his Harley-Davidson with friends. Ron also enjoyed maintaining vehicles. He will be remembered for his generous personality and his willingness to help others in need. However, his greatest passion in life was his grandchildren and the time spent with them.
