Ron was employed at Hicks and Otis Prints in Norwalk, CT for 48 years, retiring in 1993. He was proud to have served his country in the United States Air Force from 1951-1955 during the Korean Conflict, assigned to the 27th Crash Reserve Boat Flight. He received praise for his service as Airman in charge of the supply section of the 6th Troop Carrier Squadron earning him a Commendation Ribbon.

He was awarded a Korean Service Medal, a Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the United Nations Command Service Medal. He was honorably discharged in 1955 at the rank of Staff Sergeant. Ronald is survived by his beloved wife of 67 years, Patricia L. Denny.
