Prior to that, he served in the U.S. Army in 1953-54 at the end of the Korean War era. He also held positions in Chicago and Milwaukee. While working in Milwaukee, Ron built a small home near Bohners Lake just outside Burlington, Wis.

He cherished the memories of his time there in the late 1950s and early 1960s. With Xerox, he was hired in Chicago and also worked in Dallas and Los Angeles before the company transferred him to Rochester in 1969. He moved to Bristol in 1973 and to Bloomfield in 1978.

He was always at home and at peace in the hills and valleys around Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca and Cayuga lakes.
