Outside of work, Ron had many hobbies. He thoroughly enjoyed reading and had a special affinity for books on history. Ron enjoyed the mountains and liked to spend time hiking and enjoying the wildflowers. Ron enjoyed traveling and had been to several states and other countries, including an African safari. Ron’s greatest enjoyment came from time in his garden and time with his family.
