Ron entered the Marine Corps at the age of 17 and proudly served as a Marine Sergeant for the American Land Forces Middle East in 1958.

Ron loved to vacation at Virginia Beach and Key West where he spent many days deep sea fishing with his kids and nephew. His favorite pastimes were reading about politics and history, attending many Steelers and Pirates games, going to the gym, and hanging out at the local bars. But his most cherished pastime was spending it with his family.
