Ron was born on March 2, 1915 in Emmett, Idaho to Claude & Sylvia Ramey. During and after World War I he lived in California. When he was nine years old he moved with his father to McCall, Idaho where he lived until he was 15 and then moved to Nez Perce, Idaho where he graduated from high school in 1933. He was in the Civilian Conservation Corporation before going to work in Grangeville, Idaho. He met his life long companion, Marcella Caldwell, and the love of his life, on a dare and married her on November 26, 1935. To this union was born a son, Marsh and a daughter, Kay. They were his pride and joy.

He then went to work at Idaho Power Company in 1974 where he worked for 31 years until he retired. He was General Stores Supervisor at the time of his retirement in 1977.
