Ron was an amazing man, loving son, brother, friend, husband, father and grandfather.  He was a well-known life insurance agent for over 50 years in the Rochester community who just wanted to help people.  A friend/client recently said, “He was a guardian angel God put into my life at perfect moments.”  He truly loved people.

He wanted to make people smile.  His colorful personality matched his colorful wardrobe.  He loved life and lived it to the fullest, always willing to try something different and visit other countries (Japan, Italy, Brazil, Taiwan).  Always had a positive attitude, talked to everyone and boy could he talk.  He was unforgettable.

He enjoyed the art of bonsai trees and was passionate about Japanese viewing stones (suiseki) and telling people all about them.   He was an avid sports fan, especially for the Buffalo Bills (54 years as a Season Ticket Holder) and was there for all four of their Super Bowl appearances.
