Ron, born on October 4, 1932, passed from this life to the next on Sunday morning, November 23, 2014, surrounded by his family. Ron was a beloved husband, father, grandpa and friend. Ron and his best friend, the love of his life, his wife, Kathleen, spent 57 wonderful years growing their family to include two sons, two daughters-in-law and four grandsons. He was a proud 20-year military veteran, enlisting in the Marines at 17-years-old and serving in Korea during the war. After four years in the Marines, Ron enlisted in the Air Force, where he learned the electric trade as a lineman. Ron was ever-patient, had a quick wit and a contagious smile that was only overshadowed by the sparkle in his blue eyes. Ron loved to shoot guns and was quite the sharpshooter. He was a team father on his son's sports teams while they were growing up. He was an animal lover and had many pets in his life, the last being a dog named Lady. Ron was an honest man and instilled this in his sons. Ron knew a little bit about everything and always had a story and a smile to share with friends, old and new. We are sure going to miss you, Ron. Thank you for being a wonderful husband and father and for always being there for us. We love you. FRENCH 1111 University Blvd. NE (505) 843-6333
