He had a special talent for reloading ammo, tying flies, and making the most delicious fudge ever. “Captain Ron” loved boating and spent many summers on the water in the Thousand Islands with family and friends. In retirement, he and his wife embarked on a grand adventure, visiting all 50 states together. One of his favorite places to cast a line became the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park.

In his memory, enjoy a drink of your choice, spend time in the outdoors, cheer on the Cowboys, or best of all - take the day off and go fishing.
