Ron came to Princeton from Toledo’s DeVilbiss High School. He was a member of the wrestling team, Key and Seal, and the Varsity Club. He majored in chemical engineering and roomed with Howie Smith, Syd Smith, and John Clutz. After graduation he earned a master’s degree in his field at the University of Michigan.
In 1954 he married Marcia Kinney and they went west, where he launched a 38-year career with Chevron, retiring as manager of information services. When not in the office he could be found running and biking in the hills of California, or listening to jazz.
Ron died March 3, 2014, in Novato, Calif., leaving Marcia and two of their children, Nancy and Stephen. Their eldest, Michael, died earlier. The class sends its good wishes to the family of our classmate Ron.
