Ronald R. Puffer, a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, died on July 3, 1984, after a long bout with cancer.

Mr. Puffer was graduated from the University of Northern Iowa where he received his degrees in mathematics and in secondary education. He then served with the United States Army near Saigon in Vietnam with the rank of Specialist E-5.

He taught mathematics in various Iowa schools until 1971, when he entered the University of Iowa, where he received his Master of Science degree in actuarial science. In 1973, Mr. Puffer went to work for United of Omaha as an actuarial technician. At the time of his death, he was vice president and actuary in the life actuarial division of that company.

Mr. Puffer was also a member of the American Academy of Actuaries, Presbyterian Church of the Master in Omaha, and the American Legion. He is survived by his wife, Carol Ann, and two daughters. His son Daren predeceased him in 1979. Daren, who died at three days of age, had been buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Omaha, but at Ron's death was disinterred and reburied with Ron, in the same grave.

Ron was buried on June 6 -- his 39th birthday. In fact, his funeral service at Presbyterian Church of the Master in Omaha was at the same hour as his birth; it wasn't planned that way; it just happened that way.
