Ronald Daniel

Ron, grew up in Newburgh, NY. Graduating High School from Newburgh Free Academy where he excelled in Basketball and Track.

As a young boy, Ron demonstrated a capacity for leadership, compassion, and service.

That capacity for service led Ron to enlist in the United States Marine Corps, where he served over 20 years, achieving the rank of Gunny (Gunnery Sergeant for the less enlightened). When Ron came home to Newburgh from basic training, he said “when I leave, I’m going to my true home, The Corps”. Ron was a Marine’s Marine. Ron was a Vietnam Veteran serving two (2) tours.

Ron’s compassion, thirst for the truth and a strong desire “to pay it forward” led him join the Masons. Paying it forward is what Ron did, whether he was mentoring the young, talking with family or just conversing, Ron was about truth, commitment and family.
