He was united in marriage to Bonnie Fogal on November 15, 1952, at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Rushford, MN. Ronald was a strong and hard-working man. He worked as a Section Foreman for the Milwaukee Railroad, retiring after 30 years. He was an outdoorsman and liked to hunt, fish, and camp. He enjoyed sharing these hobbies with his children and grandchildren.  He collected Thunderbird toy cars, and liked to keep his own fleet of cars and boats meticulously clean and well maintained. He was a woodworker, and enjoyed making doll cradles for his granddaughters, and Christmas trees and reindeer for his family. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, especially playing cards, doing puzzles, or playing in the yard.
