Ron retired from New Departure on April 30, 1999 after 30 years of service.
He was a man of great faith and loved the Lord and to preach his word to anyone who would listen.
He was an accomplished drag racer at Dragway 42 and NRP, and in 1983 he was crowned bracket champion and won a 1983 Mazda RX-7.

The first love of his life was his wife, Vicki, followed closely by the New York Yankees. He was loved by all and will be missed forever.
He leaves behind to cherish his memories his wife of almost 30 years, Vicki (Ramsier) Gerold, to whom he married May 18, 1991; his fur babies, Molly and Daisy; mother-in-law, Laura; sister-in-law, Pam; best friends, Allan and Carolyn Lickfelt; and a host of other friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother in infancy.
