After returning home, Ron worked as an Assembly Technician for Moog in East Aurora for 43 years before retiring in 2000. Ron will always be remembered for his great sense of humor and we would like to share this quote from him. "I figure if I'm going to do something, I want it to be positive. I like to make people happy and feel informed. I try to help people feel better, more secure. I get a lot of enjoyment for myself that way. I'll tell the older ladies at Walmart- I like your hair, and it makes their day." Ron was a lifelong fly fisherman and enjoyed tying his own flies. He was artistic as well as funny and he enjoyed painting. Ron volunteered with the Wyoming County Bereavement Group through the Office for the Aging and attended the Guardian Angels Support Group in Mt. Morris. Until his recent passing, Ron could always be found alongside his beloved dog, "Patch".
