Ron was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church where, at the age of four, he met a girl named Carol Marie Pierce. He told his brother that he was going to marry that girl. Ron and Carol attended Sunday school, were confirmed, and attended high school together. On September 23, 1951, they were married at St. Paul Lutheran Church. Ron spent his life on the farm except for the time he spent in Korea with the United States Army during the Korean War.
