He joined the Air Force in 1977 and was trained as an aircraft crash type fire truck mechanic and heavy equipment mechanic.

He attended the NCO Leadership School, the NCO Academy, and Venice Maintenance Superintendent Course and earned an associate’s degree in management. He met his wife Betty of 28 years in Las Vegas where they both lived and worked.  He raised three children; sons Chris, Jon, and daughter Amanda.  He moved to the Silverton area in 1997 where he and Betty called home.

He is survived by his wife Betty, mother Shirley, brother Rick, sisters Sally, Sandy, and Shari, sons Chris of Las Vegas, Jon of Silverton, and daughter Amanda of Salem, along with 11 grandchildren which he was very proud of.

    A good friend from happy days in Fontana. Ron and I used to go to 7-11. Ron and Ricky used to play baseball with us at palmetto. One time I hit Ricky very hard in his chest, I thought I killed him. Swimming at the Younces pool was always fun. Mr. Younce would come home from work in his corvair and shoot some hoops with us. Ron and I would imitate the frog on the cartoon Courageous Cat..uh uh Couragious....Bought our first "girlie magazine together... I talked to Ron awhile back. Even tho he had strokes he still sounded exactly the same with that strange sense of hunour we both had. We used to play in my garage and shoot each other in the butts with our BB guns. I hit Ron in YHE rear and he'd hop rubbing where I shot him yelling woo hoo woo hoo... I'm so sorry... I loved Ron like a brother on Filbert st...we will meet again...

    I enjoyed reconnecting with Ron and Betty in the last few years. I loved Rons fortitude in living off the land and will always remember the jam he made and shared with us. We had the best memories with our families growing up together. Ron rest in peace my friend, and may our good Lord be with all his family.
