Ron graduated from West Virginia University in 1971with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration.  Ron resided in Ottsville, PA, where he retired from American Baptist Church USA as an accountant until he moved to Myrtle Beach, SC to retire and play golf.  Anyone that knew Ron knew that his first love was golf.  His laugh was infectious to the point where you stopped laughing at the joke and started laughing at his laugh.  Ron also loved line dancing until the sun came up, reading about US history, and all genres of music.  He had a witty sense of humor that everyone adored and showed strength in his life’s ups and downs.  Ron had a heart of gold, was the rock for his family and loved his family with everything he had.
