He was an avid hunter, hunting deer, elk, wild boar, pheasant, ducks, dove, & quail. He loved fishing which took him on several trips to the Sierras and Canada.
Ron knew everyone. Those he met for the first time would be greeted with one of his legendary handshakes and a one-liner. They didn’t remain a stranger from there on out. He enjoyed talking and spending time with his friends. He was known for always speaking his mind. He loved his family dearly and always wanted them close by. Ron gave away much of what he had to family and any person that had a need.
