Ron graduated in 1977 from Riverview High School.  He had two daughters as a young man: Corina and Tanina.  He was a manager at many different restaurants throughout his life, but most notably the Sign of the Beefcarver where he met the love of his life, Katherine.  They got married on August 8, 2003 and together they built a life full of love and laughter.  Ron and Katherine had three children: their angelic Abigail, Colyn, and Brody.  He loved his family dearly and always put them first.  Ronald was the anchor of his family that held everyone together; he would tell them to "B Positive!" even when things got tough with his health in his later years.  He was loved deeply and will be missed terribly.  Ron was a sports lover and a U of M fan through and through- Go Blue!
