Ronald is remembered by his family and many friends for his gentle spirit and ability to accept misfortune without bitterness. He was a student of scripture, of philosophy and of mathematics and physics, specifically improved yacht hull design hydrodynamic models. Another of his unique interests was Middle English literature which he read in the gothic script. Dearest among the many friends he cherished and who cherished him were his classmates in the Ames High class of 1955 who provided particular love and encouragement throughout his life. Nieces, nephews, and children in his Sunday school classes were captivated by his dramatic poem recitations. Ronald was even more loyal to Ames than his parents and brothers and sister, and lived there 38 years before moving to Logan for the peace of mind of his mother and father. In Logan he was a great assistance to his parents in their advancing years. He served in the Logan Temple for many years.
