He enjoyed fishing, camping, and vacations with family including cruises with his son in which he spent most of the time singing karaoke and eating pork chops. He also loved spoiling his grandkids, watching them play sports, and playing board games with them, especially Battleship and Scrabble. Ron was a life-long lover of music. He was always singing, humming, or whistling and enjoyed karaoke, even winning a karaoke contest at Chrysler.
