Ron attended Olivet Nazarene University where he received his ministries license. He married the love of his life, Elsie Killin, on August 2, 1952, and together they embarked on a journey of pastoring several churches over the years before retiring at the age of 82.

He enjoyed watching sports, especially basketball and football. He also loved playing golf. He was a very hard worker. He started working for his father’s business at the age of 14. He ran his own bicycle shop in Waterloo, OH at the age of seven. He took over a shed on his father’s property and with one spare bicycle tire and a chain he started to repair bicycles. He was a loyal friend, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
