He will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Notes:
One of Ron’s favorite songs was Charlie Rich’s "Rollin’ with the Flow" – which he felt described his attitude about life.
Ron's middle name (Kenton) was from the city he where he was born. He didn't like it because he thought it was weird to be named after a town.
Ron served in Vietnam while in the Navy. He died after a long illness. He was cremated and buried in the Garnett Cemetery.
