Ron first worked for Parrott Mechanical here in the Silver Valley.  He then started his own business and owned and operated Clean Air Services of the Silver Valley for twenty years.

Ron was a member of the Ducks Unlimited.

Above all, Ron loved and adored his children and grandbabies.  He also loved snowmobiling, four-wheeling, the outdoors, fishing with his children and grandchildren, antique cars and attending car shows.

Ron had a wonderful sense of humor and his love for his children and grandbabies was beyond measure; he was loved by many and will be deeply missed.
