Ron was a lifelong fan of cars. He had a ’54 Chevy he bought in ’59 and put a Corvette engine in it. He had a ’58 Corvette that he restored and showed in many Custom Car Shows in and around Ohio.

He will be remembered by many friends and family for his kindness, his humor and his ability to fix most anything around the house. He and his wife moved to AZ in 2017 to be near their grandson, Ethan, and he spent a great deal of time playing any sport that Ethan wanted to play. He will be missed by so many friends in Ohio, S.
