The love of Ron’s life was his wife Nelda, to whom he was married for 62 years. They were never apart. Happy family times included the annual summer trips to Lake Wallenpaup­ack and skiing at Stowe, Vermont. He and Nelda were very social, and their home in Holly Court was the site of many great parties.

Ron is survived by his wife Nelda; his sons Scott and Ron; and two grandchild­ren, all of whom reside on the West Coast.
