Ron loved spending time with his family, whether it be down state visiting, or at the cottage on Intermediate Lake, when his family would come up. He enjoyed pontoon rides with his family. In his free time. He loved watching the Tigers and as well as Bill O'Reilly. He was also active in going to church and volunteered his time there.

Married at 20 years old, Ron loved his wife Barbara with all of his heart. They met on her first and only blind date. Ron was notorious for driving crazy, which Barb didn't like. She wouldn't go on another with date him again unless he promised to stop driving so crazy. He did so, and ended up marrying her. They were together through the thick and the thin. They created a loving family with Jeanette, Ronald J., and Kristen. He was a great husband, father, grandpa, and friend. He will be sincerely missed by everyone who had the privilege of being loved by him.
