Ron was a loving man who always enjoyed being active and being outdoors. His upbeat attitude was always present and he was never heard complaining. He exemplified Lou Gehrig's phrase, "The Luckiest Man", and was always grateful for everything in his life. He ultimately passed due to complications associated with ALS but ALS didn't beat him. He lived his life on his terms and stayed positive until the very end. He is greatly missed and his life is an example to us all.
