farm, altar boy duties at the local Catholic church, and roughhousing with his
siblings and cousins in the open fields.

soon found himself stationed at Mountain Home Air Force Base. After four years
of honorable service, Ron chose to make Idaho his home. He began a long career
at Boise Cascade, where he remained until his retirement.
His retirement
years were filled with many activities and travels, including several
pilgrimages to Europe to visit holy sites important in Catholic history.

that provided the strongest love and fulfillment.

fan of the Green Bay Packers and Chicago White Sox and idolized Mickey Mantle

family in Minnesota and Michigan, and making new friends wherever he went. Ron
