Ronald was born on September 15, 1953 in Fargo, North Dakota to Alvin and Harriett Groff. He graduated from Lucy Auld Alternative School in 1972. He worked at North Metro for over 20 years doing miscellaneous office duties. In recent years he worked for Meals on Wheels and Goodwill serving the community.
Ron was a kind and gentle soul. He really enjoyed the company of family and friends and so looked forward to quality time. He loved animals, listening to oldies, playing records, watching movies, discussing current events, and reading the Bible. Ron was recently baptized in April which was a huge step for him as he had to overcome his fear of water.
He will be dearly missed by his friends and family and all those who knew him.
A funeral service is scheduled for October 5 at 1pm at Olinger Highland Mortuary and Cemetery in
