During his time in the service, he was stationed at the SAC Base located in Thule, Greenland. He was also stationed in the French Morocco and finally in Maine and was honorably discharged in 1956.

After his military discharge, Ronald returned home to marry Alice and they spent the remaining 63 years together in Bloomsburg. He was employed as a Carpenter at Bloomsburg University for almost 30 years and retired in 1991.

Ronald loved the outdoors and was an active fisherman. He was a member of the former St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Catawissa, the Catawissa American Legion, Post 541 and the Washington Lodge #265, F & A M. He was well respected and loved by those who knew him.
