Ron was a graduate of Onteora Central School. He received a two year degree as an Automotive Tech from SUNY Morrisville, and a four year degree in Chemistry from SUNY New Paltz. As a young man, Ron worked in the family business; The Village Bake Shop in Phoenicia, N.Y.

In the mid 1970's Ron's professional career started at International Nickel in Sterling Forest, N.Y. He worked as a Metallurgist in their Alloy Development Laboratory. Four years later, tired of the long commute from Willow; Ron started a 20 year tenure at Micronetics in Kingston, N.Y.

Ronald's recreational time was spent camping, fishing, and boating with his wife Wanda. Many vacations towing the boat to Lakes Ontario, Schroon, the Thousand Islands and Hudson River were a great joy for both of them. Ron's longest passion was riding and rebuilding English motorcycles, his favorite being his "68" Triumph Bonneville. Ronald is survived by his wife Wanda, a son Rahman and three grandchildren. Two brothers George and Gary and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Lasher Funeral Home in Woodstock, N.Y.
