While attending Loras College, he met Sharon Enderlin and the two were married on June 12, 1965.  Ron had a lengthy career as a civil litigator with the Dempsey, Magnusen, Williamson, Lampe law firm in Oshkosh, Wis

He was an avid birder and a devoted fan of the Packers, Brewers, Bucks and the Badgers. Above all, he cherished his role as a grandfather to his granddaughter, Anika, who was perfection in his eyes.

Hay Jim and Kathy. I'm vary sorry for your loss of a great Man. Your Mother and Father hold a special place in my Heart. Ron, and Sherry treated me like Family. Especially with Connor and Ki, Every time I would see Ron and Sherry they always asked how the boys are doing. Sherry was instrumental in helping them one summer. And she grew fond of them. I'm happy to say my boys turned out to be great men. My memory of Ron mostly was "to me" it seemed like nothing was that important to get bent out of shape about. And everything has a solution.He always made me feel comfortable and confident. Both your parents were the most Humble and Modest people that I knew. But I would of bet a Million dollars that they were always the smartest people in the room. But they never acted like it. (They made me feel like Family.) RIP Ron, you will be missed. Tim.
