Ron was a hardworking man and excelled in anything and everyone he worked for. While living in Estes Park, Colorado for 18 years, he was a member of the Lions Club, The Horseshow and Rodeo Committee and helped with the Boy Scouts. Ron adored his children: he was so proud of Tammy when she was Rooftop Rodeo Queen 1984 and 1985 and he was so proud of Chuck when he joined the USCG and spent 20 years serving our country. He also loved to hike and made it to the top of Longs Peak with his son Chuck. He loved his Golden Retrievers and always had to have one by his side. He owned and operated Fort Namaqua Liquor in Loveland for many years and then sold it to his son Chuck. He began working for Loveland Auto Auction and looked forward to going to work and being with the “GUYS”!!!
