Ron grew up in Elmwood Park and was a proud graduate of Fenwick High School and University of Notre Dame. A patriot to his core, after graduation he enlisted in the Navy (Seabees) and served his country in Vietnam. In 1968, he married his beloved Sherry and they started to build the life of their dreams. The 1970s brought hard work and perseverance and culminated in his life-long ambition of starting his own concrete construction business, Sherry K Corporation. His marked generosity will be remembered by all who knew him, most especially his adoring family.
