Ron had a 38-year career at Strong's Volkswagen. He was a great help to family and friends, always working on their cars.

Ron loved the outdoors and spent many weekends camping and hunting with family and friends. Later in life, Ron developed a passion for golf and enjoyed playing rounds with his family and friends.

He is survived by his sister Jackie Davis Malouf (Mark), who assisted in his care on a daily basis over the last few years of his life.
