Ron lived his life putting God and family first. Service to St. Mary Magdalene Church was important to him. He served as Master of Ceremonies, taught on The Baptism and Family Life Ministries and was a member of The Knights of Columbus. The Boy Scouts of America was one way for Ron to share with his sons his love of outdoor activities, camping and fishing. He held many positions in scouting and lived by example the Scout Law and Oath to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. These values live on through his sons. He was a dedicated father and volunteered for school and sports events.
