After retiring, he drove school buses for the next 13 years. He had a love for restoring or remolding old and new cars. He was most recently known for building and restoring utility trailers to keep him busy. Ronald enjoyed spending time with his family, camping, boating, motorcycle riding, dune buggies and anything that was powered by a motor.

    Dear Gayle and family,
    We are saddened by the passing of Ron. I will miss going him
    a lot. We had some really fun times over the years. He was always busy with his many projects and staying busy either building cars and restoring utility trailers. He enjoyed is many trips on his side by side with friends. Two of my favorites were our trip to Hot August Knights in his 1931 Ford roadster and our trip to Cody, Wyoming.
    Thanks so much for the memories.
