Ron was a graduate of Mississinawa Valley High School. He dedicated his career to the mold-making industry, working as a certified mold maker for many years before retiring from Omega in Winchester, Indiana in 2012. Throughout his career, he was also employed by Hobart Brothers, Sherman Armstrong Mold, and Darke Precision. Ron was a faithful member of Reverent Church and loved his Lord and Savior.
Ron and his wife, Vicki, shared a passion for travel, exploring 46 states together and creating countless memories along the way. He found great joy working around the family farm, collecting tools, spending time outdoors, and escaping the Ohio winters in sunny Florida.
A celebration of Ron’s life is being planned for a future date.
