He was preceded in death by his parents, Brother-in-Law, David Lawrence, and Sister-in-Law, Peggy Fox. Ron was a member of the U.S. Air Force and served in Vietnam 1965 - 1968. He and his family scouted much of the west by motorcycle and moved to the Carson City area in 1978 to further his career in broadcasting. After his second career ended in retirement, Ron found his gypsy blood yearning for the road again. Ron started his own trucking operation and he and Lee saw much of the eleven western states they served.

He enjoyed flying his ultra lite airplane and adored the perspective of discovery from the air.Ron’s family invites you to join them for a “Celebration of Life” on Saturday, January 25th, 2014 at 12:00 Noon in the Silver Springs Senior Center, 2945 Ft.
