Born in the town of Nashville, Wisconsin in 1941, Ronald grew up in northern Wisconsin and graduated from Crandon High School in 1959. He married his sweetheart, Beverly, on August 14, 1960. He began electronics training at Milwaukee School of Engineering, but left to join the military, serving as a radar repairman in the Air Force from March 1960 to March 1966 in Greenland and then stateside with his wife in Illinois and Mississippi before settling back in Wisconsin. He and Beverly started their family in Milwaukee before moving back to his beloved northwoods of Wisconsin where they spent most of their life together enjoying peaceful country living. Over the years, Ronald worked in electronics, grocery stores, as a lumberjack, delivery driver and census taker. He also owned and operated a gas station in Hiles, Wisconsin.

Ronald was a Godly, caring man who enjoyed spending time outdoors, with family and friends, cooking breakfast, and studying the Bible. He also spent a lifetime serving in his church as an adult Sunday School teacher, church clerk, singing occasional duets with his wife, and in other areas of service. His hobbies included computer programming, walking/admiring God's beautiful creation, gardening, fishing, reading, miniature golf and tinkering around in the garage.

A joint memorial visitation with light lunch will be held for both Ronald and his wife, Beverly, at Evangel Assembly of God Church, 9920 W.
