He was a well known house and barn painter in the area. In the winter he plowed snow for Riverview. Ron was a volunteer fireman in Riverview for 20 years and had served as Chief for four years. His favorite pastimes were working with wood and tinkering with small engines. But he was most happy when he was deer hunting, watching the Packers, and spending time with his family. He will not only be very missed by all of us, but also by his little dog, Tuffy, who never left his side during his illness. In his last days he was cared for by his family and LeRoyer Hospice in his home. Years ago Ron had his own Country Band and enjoyed Country Western music.
