Ronald was a very humble man who was honored to have many different titles in his life; father, brother, husband and Airman. Like so many of his generation, he served in the US Airforce. Ronald enjoyed many of life’s pleasures; watching his favorite television programs, trying his luck at fishing, shooting pool, wood working, and spending time tinkering around his yard, especially with his beloved water fountain.

Ronald was the celebrated patriarch of his large family. He enjoyed preparing and sharing a simple meal with them; oftentimes during the holidays. Ronald touched many lives in many different circles and will fondly be loved, cherished and missed by all.
