Ron was a life long resident of Bucyrus, Ohio. He served in the United States Navy. In early years, he worked for Byrd Ambulance of Bucyrus, was a Probation Officer in Mansfield, and was a Guard at the Marion Correctional Institute. Ron then moved on to work at B.F. Goodrich for 10 years, and then retiring from Dayco Swan after 25 years. He was an advid lover of all music dating back to the 50’s along with his love of karaoke, a little league baseball coach to many, and he was an assistant Bucyrus High School Football coach. He was a man of many hobbies: riding four wheelers, fishing, coin collecting, golfball hunting, arrowhead hunting, restoring antigues and vehicles, and always looking for “Good Deals!” His favorite hobby, however, was watching his Ohio State Buckeyes. Before Ron’s illness, he enjoyed spending time with his Granddaughter, Brynn, whom he helped take care of.
