Ron passed away peacefully at Carson Tahoe Hospital with his wife and daughter by his bedside.
He was born in San Francisco, CA on January 24, 1943 and grew up in the Bay Area. After high school, Ron enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and three years later he married his high school sweetheart, Kathleen Flood.
After completing his military service, he owned a cabinet shop, specializing in kitchen and bath remodels. The family moved to Reno in 1982 where Ron worked as a project manager for a millwork company.
Ron was an avid fly fisherman and an expert at tying flies. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Kathie; his son, Rob (Kristy); daughter Carrie Morton (Shon) and four grandchildren, Caitlyn, Shane, Maddie and Tyler; his brothers, Mark (Jinni) and Dennis (Evelyn); niece, Nicole George (Larry).
