In 2007 he became a concrete truck driver for Four Corners Materials until 2011 at which time he retired due to health issues. Ron enjoyed watching football, traveling with his family every summer and he especially enjoyed the Holidays with the family and dressing up as Santa for the grandchildren. He was a lover of all animals, especially his best friend Dutchess who never left his side.

I met Ron when while my father was still on the force at Long Beach in 1980 and he was working extra for Platt Security at the Long Beach Arena. Ron was a loving family man and dedicated to his sons and I was there to support him through his divorce and then when he met his new wife and family. He would call me now and again to check in and every time he did he praised his granddaughters and new family members, as well as his sons. I hadn't heard from Ron for a long time now or since he had his leg amputated, so I've been wondering about him and his family. I'm so sorry for your loss he was a great loving man to his children and wife. God bless you all!
