One of his greatest enjoyments in life was seeing his crops grow and taking in the true beauty of his farmland. He enjoyed riding bike with his friends & family, participating in the Mickelson Trail and Tour de Corn.
Ron was on the township board for over 20 years and was also a member of the Moose Lodge. Ron was a member of the Holy Family Catholic Church, as faith was a crucial part of his life.

He and Connie had big family gatherings every year during the weekend of opening Pheasant hunting season and had all the extended family over for a big hunt and family reunion. They also hosted the Christmas gathering with his siblings every year.

An endowment fund is a perpetual fund, created by charitable donations in the form of cash, stocks, mutual funds, real property, or other personal property given to the Foundation. The practice of investing the principal, rather than spending it, creates a perpetual fund. Most of an endowment’s annual earnings are distributed to the designated benefactors, in this case, John Paul II School. Endowments provide a “forever-giving” funding source for Catholic programs and activities. A gift in your will could establish an endowment and a lasting legacy for you, your family, and benefactor.
