Prior to his retirement Ron spent 8 years in the Royal Horse Guards (Household Cavalry), four years of which were spent in the B.A.O.R (British Army on the Rhine), Hanover, Germany. He worked many years as a self-employed building contractor and as a Goods-In Manager for a food wholesaler. Ron was a keen sportsman, playing semi-professional football (soccer), and during his time in the army won many cups and medals for athletic achievements. He was for a long time involved in the Scouting movement in the UK. After retirement, Ron immigrated to Canada where he spent his remaining years with trips to England as time and health permitted. Being wheelchair-bound due to a serious illness in 1992, he spent many hours crafting with wood.
