Ron graduated from Green Park Union High School as part of the class of 1954. He then went on to work for MacKee Vending. After leaving MacKee Vending, Ron went to work for Purina until his retirement. Although he enjoyed retirement, Ron still wanted something to keep himself busy, so he went to work at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Mechanicsburg, where he assembled bicycles and many other items. Ron was a longtime active member of Enola First Church of God, where he served as treasurer for 25 years, as a former deacon, and on the church board and builder committee. Growing up on a small farm in Elliottsburg, Ron learned to be a hard worker at a young age and continued to be one throughout his entire life. In his spare time, he could be found cheering on his Pittsburgh Steelers or hunting small game and deer. Ron also loved collecting antiques. He would buy and sell them, and had his own store.
