Ronald proudly served his country in the United States Navy. He was a Navy veteran who served as a Radioman aboard the very first nuclear-converted submarine, the USS George Washington—a role he took great pride in throughout his life. He was a retired Aeronautics Engineer.

In his personal life, Ronald was a talented woodworker and an avid antique collector. As well as a motorcycle enthusiast who cherished riding his Harley-Davidsons. After retiring, he poured his passion into cultivating an extensive organic vegetable garden, supplying fresh produce to local restaurants around the “Mountains of Churchville”.
