Ron went to work at Hill AFB as a systems analyst for 2 ½ years. While there he developed an inventory control system. It was used thoughout the Armed Forces.
In September of 1969 he started teaching accounting at latter-Day Saints Business College. He headed the accounting department from 1969 – 1983. He worked many long hours at LD for 29 years. He coached the basketball team for several years in his spare time. Ronald wasn’t paid for the extra time and work, it was all from a love of the students. He passed the CPA Exam in 1970. Ron loved baseball and softball. He was a big fan of Duke Snider and the Brooklyn Dodgers. Ron played right field on teams that went to Regionals and All-Church several times. As a young man and active member of the LDS Church, he wanted to go on a mission. Due to the Vietnam War limits on missionaries, Ron gave someone else that chance. He couldn’t be drafted due to his medical problems. He was a High Priest at the time of his death. Temple and genealogy work were some of his loves, too. His most recent calling was teaching the Family History class with his wife, Patti. Many times they could be found at a Family History Library.
