Then later moved with his family to Union Michigan Baldwin lake. After reaching adulthood he purchased a house in Cass county Michigan at Shave head lake.  Around 2013 he moved to Chiefland Florida with his Brother Steve and his wife Darlene.

When Ron was young he loved to play little league ball in Osceola. He played QB for Grissom junior school, and set records at Penn High School Class 5 A  for track n field.  Ron excelled at Racquetball tournaments and really enjoyed his sports. His favorite team was the Cubs and da Bears, and the Boston Celtics.

Ron loved to troll for pike and bass and fish and Ice fish on Baldwin and Shavehead lakes and spend time with his family exspecially  his nieces and nephews. Ron was always a giver. He gave a lot of himself to others in need all his life, or just because of his kind spirit.

Ron worked for his family business for some years named  Union Wholesale, and later branched off to start his own business The Specialist company.

Some years later Ron was diagnosed with a illness and after years of battling that illness Ron moved down with his Brother Steve and Steve Wife Darlene. After enjoy some of the things Florida has to offer sometime after and being reunited with his Brother Steve and Steve's wife Darlene Ron was diagnosed with Vascular Parkinsons. Ron  battled fiercely with that cruel illness but never gave up, always was courageous really did not feel sorry for himself or complained about the disease itself just the pain, it caused. He really did not complain about his limitations, he never once mentioned why me.  God finally took Ronnie home the very same day and month my father died in the year 2000. Ron is at peace now, he can run again, instead of being confined to a bed. I have many fond memories of my brother and my sisters and wife and family and friends do too, way too many to list hear and they will be our treasures.  We all love Ron so very much, but realize he is with God and our loves ones of past.
