Ronald Francis Finch

Ron attended Illinois State University – taking a break in the middle of his education to serve in the Army during the Vietnam War – and then returned to receive his Bachelor of Science degree in both math and agriculture. After 38 years of service with the State of Illinois, City of Waco and the State of Texas, Ron retired in 2013. During his retirement he enjoyed visiting his daughters and grandchildren. He was an avid pro-football and baseball fan and also enjoyed watching college football and pro-golf. He loved traveling to Las Vegas for the lights and atmosphere and some occasional gambling, too.

Ron is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Barbara; daughters, Traci and Kelli; grandchildren, Benjamin and Trudy; nephew, Mark; and many cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dean and Wilma; brother, Robert and twin brother, Randall.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a yet to be determined future date. Memorial donations in Ron’s memory can be made to your favorite charity.
