Ron umpired for Delta Township for several years. As Director of Parks and Recreation at Delta I had the pleasure of working with him and watching him work many games. He was very well respected for his ability, hustle and game control. My prayers go out to the Costco family. Rest in pease Ron!

My sympathies to Ronnie’s family.
Could someone please contact me?
I came looking to see how a friend who used to visit in Clarendon PA many, many years ago was doing.
From reading this obituary it is so wonderful to see what a full, vibrant & impactful life he lived.
And what a wonderful family too.
God bless you all.
