military service. He joined the

discharged in 1967. He served
on the USS Iwo Jima during the
Cuban Missile Crisis. While in
the navy he met the love of his
life, Encarnacion, (Cora) in the
Philippines and married her in
1964 after a whirlwind romance.
Ron was honorably discharged
from the Navy in 1967, and he
came to Livermore where his

Anna, in 1968. Ron started
working at Coast Manufacturing
in Livermore in 1965, and continued
working there when it became

to hunt, fish, camp, travel and
he was a diehard 49ers fan . He
used to make yearly treks across
the country to Virginia, or Texas,
to visit distant family and friends.
He and Cora used to spend
many weekends camping at lakes
around California, and near the
coast. Later he purchased a boat
and spent many happy years on
the delta fishing, and visiting
with friends. Ron was a man of
simple tastes, and was happiest
visiting with friends, and recalling
the old days in the Navy and
the Sea Scouts.
Ron was an extremely generous
man. His door was always
open to anyone who needed help.
Ron and Cora sponsored 3 Vietnamese
families in their home in
the 1970s, along with many
friends and family members who
were down on their luck.
