Ron spent most of his working years at Torit/Donaldson where he enjoyed the friendship of his co-workers. After retiring in 1998, he became very involved as the main "babysitter" for his grandsons. He was also their biggest fan, attending as many of their sporting events as he could, no matter where or what the weather was. Watching the boys grow up was his great pleasure.
