Ron (also known to some as Ronnie) served in the United States Air Force and was a proud Veteran.  He retired as a butcher from Cub Foods.  Prior to working there, he worked at Standard Grocery where he met his wife, Nancy.  He marched to the beat of his own drum and liked to do things his own way.  He was silly and creative.  He was always saying "Oh, I can use that for something".  Anyone who knew him, knew that he didn't throw anything away.  He took pride in repurposing everything!  He enjoyed fishing and gardening.  He loved piddling around in the yard and growing plants as well as listening to big band and classical music.
