Ron led a full life of travel, helping others and storytelling. He started his career in the armed services in Korea. After which he went to work for the city of Newton. It wasn't long before he and his wife, Karen, decided to try their hand at truck driving which allowed them to travel the country and visit new places. They eventually decided to invest in the wireless internet industry and were then able to retire to Buffalo, MO. Days were spent tinkering on equipment and enjoying the simple life on their small farm. One thing is for sure, he was always willing to lend a helping hand and tell tall tales.
