Ron graduated from Cheboygan High School in 1983. He worked various odd jobs, but his heart was in Construction with a love of operating heavy equipment. His jobs took him to various States to work including New York, Colorado, Louisiana, Ohio, and Nebraska. Tired of traveling Ron proudly worked with Clark Construction to remodel the Cheboygan Hospital. Those who knew Ron, knew he loved restoring classic cars and trucks. He will always be remembered as a sharp-witted man who would be there to lend a hand to any friend who needed it.
