An avid volunteer at Euclid Hospital, Ron received numerous awards for his service. Ron was ecstatic to spend time with his grandchildren whom he was very proud of. He had a deep love of Hockey no matter the age of players or the team affiliation, He was an avid Indians and Browns and Captains fan. He had a zest for life and a cheery outlook despite his health issues.
