Ron proudly served his country in the United States Army (E4) during the Vietnam era and was deployed to Germany where he drove a M60 tank. He loved America. He enjoyed spending time at the lake with his wife and family. In his spare time, he liked working on puzzles and he was considered a pretty sharp pinochle player.
