Ron was a volunteer at the YMCA in Virginia Beach, which was also where he met his partner of 20 years, Jacqueline Southall. He enjoyed cycling and fell in love with working out. Throughout his life, Ron competed in numerous triathlons and biathlons. He was immensely proud of the numerous medals and awards he earned from these events.
