Ron retired from active duty in December 2002 with over 30 years of military service.

He also loved playing softball and continued even into his 60's when he and his wife played coed softball with numerous friends in Albuquerque. Ron's latest adventures involved RVing and he loved to drive it during travels or just to the UNM football games for tailgates with friends. Ron and his wife had just finished a vacation combining two of his favorite things - RVing and golf - just before his passing. Ron passed his love of sport on to his three sons and he always ended conversations with his daughter with the line "Oh, and guess what else?", and she would reply, "You love me." He is survived by his wife, Laura; brother Mike; son Ray (fiancee Brittany); son Steven (wife Stephanie); daughter Tara (husband Paul); and son Scott (wife Andrea). Ron adored his three grandchildren Tommie, Ian, and Mackenzie, all precious and beautiful and never far from his thoughts. He will be sorely missed by the many people who loved and knew him. A Memorial Service was held on June 7th at Kirtland Air Force Base. Ron was interred in Fredericksburg, Texas on June 10th near his parents James and Helen.
