Ron graduated from Macomber High School in 1973. He also attended the Carl T. Cotter School of Apprentice Training where he honed his skills in construction, following in his father's footsteps! He worked many summers and then full time for Biniker Construction. He also worked many years at “Truckstops of America” and enjoyed both short term and lifetime friendships he made there. A skilled dancer, Ron competed and won many Ballroom competitions in the 70's and 80's all over the United States. Also, he was thrilled with trains from a young age. He created a wonderful display of them and in later years sought out steam engines to ride, study, and observe. A fan of Harley Motorcycles, he was a member of the Motorcycle Riders Association. Other favorites included the Ohio State marching band, Budweiser memorabilia, and NASA. He was a member of the former Salem United Church of Christ.
