Ron loved his NY Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. He loved to play sports as well as watch or listen to them all day. He loved to travel and cruise with his family and friends throughout the world, making new friends wherever he went. His love of family superseded all, as one family reunion would end he would start talking about next years, he was so looking forward to this year's reunion in Olean, NY but came up a couple of weeks short.
