He also leaves behind many dear cousins, aunts and uncles.
His beloved mother, Elizabeth Silletto Mahany, preceded Ron in death. She passed away in 1968.
Ron stated about his family; 'I have had my family, parents and siblings and their children rally around me, revealing tremendous bonds of love and strength, which I hope they will maintain across the distances that often separate them. Life's end is bitter sweet, comes with few regrets, but many hopes for those I care for.'
Ron was born December 15, 1957 to Gene and Elizabeth Mahany at St. Luke's Hospital, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul's United Methodist Church. Ron attended Cedar Rapids schools and graduated from Washington High School in 1976. He pursued his interest in science and engineering at Iowa State University where he graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. As an Iowa State student he worked for McDonald Douglas (Boeing) in St. Louis. After graduating he worked at EF Johnson in Waseca, Minnesota, followed by working for Intermec Technologies (formerly Norand Corporation) for seventeen years. He was Director of Engineering. Ron stated the following; 'In my career I'd like to be remembered as someone who mentored and listened, who made decisions and admitted mistakes, who was fair and had an occasional creative idea or solution. Of all my work accomplishments I was most proud of the people-aspect and seeing others grow, succeed and excel in their accomplishments.'
As a young adult Ron enjoyed camping, nature and writing. He was an avid long distance bicyclist. Later he enjoyed playing in volleyball leagues.
Ron always looked forward to family vacations, especially those involving hiking in the mountains and being next to the ocean. He liked snorkeling and kayaking. One of Ron's pastimes was music, especially jazz. He spent many moments of relaxation playing his guitar. Ron, a creative person, developed numerous inventions. Ron found joy in entertaining his large family for holiday dinners and get-togethers. He established a special bond with his son, built with love and respect. His sisters, brother and parents were very important to him. He considered his wife his best friend. The creative writings he wrote as a young adult will be published in a small book.
Ron traveled the world during his career and liked sharing his technical knowledge. He was a mentor to many young engineers. A colleague has described Ron as being on the cutting edge of technology, another reported learning more from him about RF Technology in one hour than attending many training sessions through out several years. He was a member of IEEE and on the Board of Directors for the international group, WECA, Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance. Ron possessed fifty-four United States Patents.
Ron's wishes were for a memorial fund to Hospice of Mercy, 701 10th St. SE or to the St. Lukes Health Care Foundation, 1026 A Ave. NE, in his name.
The 'Ronald L. Mahany Endowment' through St. Lukes Hospital will help support Rehabilitative Services (career development, scholarships and physical therapy equipment). He was greatly impressed with the St.Luke's physical therapy department. He would prefer donations to these medical organizations rather than flowers.
During this last year Ron met several new doctors, nurses and other health care workers. He was impressed with their high quality of care and their genuine interest in him as a person.
His family and friends were amazed with Ron's valor, tenacity, and humor he displayed during this past year. Ron was a hero to many. He was a wonderful husband, father, son, brother and friend. Ron's intelligence, sense of humor, honesty and hardworking values will be missed.
