Sports were a big part of Ron's life. He and Pat have been members of the Tower Point Tennis Club for over 25 years. He played on the 3.5, 3.0 and 2.5 teams and volunteered his time setting up for tournaments, cleaning the courts, setting up for the Spaghetti Dinner and so much more. Ron loved to hike, climbing Picacho Peak and Flatiron along with many trails in the Superstitions. He had many great stories about hiking the Grand Canyon to Phantom Ranch with his TP friends and their adventures along the way.

In addition to his parents, Ronald was preceded in death by his brothers, Floyd, Albert, Ralph, Marvin; and sisters, Isabel, Berniece, Jewel, and Donna.
