from findagrave:
Ron was extra talented and skilled in his trade and hobbies, always clean and neat 
and organized, careful with his habits and belongings. It seems there was nothing he 
could not do or fix or a challenge he did not face head-on and accomplish. He did 
many different things and had interests in many many different areas of life. 

He was acutely aware of the literal meanings of words and phrases and because he 
was a successful vocalists he understood the importance of how words were 
pronounced and used. With confidence in adulthood he overcame a shyness and was 
always friendly and outgoing, ever ready with a playful comment or silly joke. He loved 
laughter for his was a big, loud and infectious laugh often accompanied with head 
thrown back, arms raised high. 

His southern roots on his mother's side showed through with funny words, nicknames 
and stories - he very often spoke in metaphor. 

Ron was a fine and inventive craftsman, a creative model and mold maker, a superb 
wood carver and a highly sought after patternmaker who contributed generously to the 
buildings, bridges, factories and mining industries of America. His work and that of his 
father and grandfather can be seen nearly everywhere!

Ron was an especially loving, dedicated husband, a protective, supportive and 
encouraging father that could always be counted on, he is deeply missed and 
regarded by all who came in contact with him. -LRC
