  • Notes 
    • Ronald was a devout Catholic and served as an Eucharistic Minister for 49 years at Triumph of the Holy Cross- St. Thomas A' Becket Church. Growing up, Ronald loved to assist his father in the garage he had in McKeesport which led to a lifelong love of automobiles. He was a member of the Allegheny Region Porsche Club and the Allegheny Region Mercedes Club, as well as a 60 year member and a two time President of the SAE: Society of Automotive Engineers Pittsburgh Section. When he wasn't working on cars as a hobby, Ronald was an avid fisherman, devoted Steeler fan and season ticket holder, member of the Pleasant Hills Garden Club, and he was known for his Eastern European baking skills.
