In earlier years, Ronald operated a poultry farm, was a school bus driver, and owned and operated a lawn seeding business. He also owned and operated a car wash in Belleville for more than 20 years. He enjoyed hunting, golfing, and flying his Cessna 182 airplane, his pride and joy. Later in life and into retirement, trips to Florida in the winter were immensely enjoyed. He loved music and played guitar and accordion. He was a member of the Allensville Mennonite Church and spent many hours serving there and at other ministries in the area, including a prison ministry. Ronald was a handyman and innovator extraordinaire and could repair just about anything with almost nothing.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2025 at 11 a.m. at the Allensville Mennonite Church, followed by a meal.

In lieu of flowers and other gifts we encourage contributions be made to Belleville Christian School, Gideons international, Mennonite Central Committee, or Mennonite Missions.
