Ronald died April 26, 2017, at Beaumont in Bryn Mawr, Pa.

Born in St. Louis, Mo., he matriculated from St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H. Ron was a member of Colonial Club, active in many campus activities, and an art history major. After graduation, he spent two years in the Army in Germany. On his return he entered Harvard Business School, and after completion he moved into the advertising world. He spent the next 13 years working for Procter & Gamble.

In 1980, Ron made a career change to pursue his life passion of teaching the Bible, first by bringing Executive Ministries, an evangelical program, to New York City. He continued that ministry in Palm Beach, Fla., for the next 18 years and spent the remainder of his career back in Bryn Mawr.

Ron is survived by his children Alison, Nina, Jenny, and Ian; 11 grandchildren; and two great-granddaughters. He was a beloved husband to the late Sophie Porter and the late Patsy Dodd, to whom he was married for 50 years. The class is honored by his service to our country.
