Anne and Ron were married for 56 years before Anne’s death December 4, 2013. They lived in Ishpeming until moving to Minnesota’s Iron Range in 1974. After Ron’s retirement from Inland Steel Mining Company in 1985, they moved to the Twin Cities.

In addition to his wife, Anne, Ron was preceded in death by his parents and sisters: Frances(sis) Tonkin and Marge Pepin.

Ron was a very special man who made all he came in contact with feel special. He was a great listener and was truly interested in what was going on in his family’s and friends life’s. He was devoted to his family and loved them unconditionally. He taught not only with words but more so through his actions and we were all blessed to have him.

The family wants to recognize Red Wing Hospice for their devotion and incredible care they provided Ron. A special thanks to Connie and Jennifer, you both made Ron’s last months as comfortable as possible because you truly cared for him. We also want to thank the great staff at Reflections Care Suites. Reflections is a special place and we will not soon forget the love and care they provided Ron the last 10 weeks and Anne in 2013.

Memorials are preferred to Reflections Care Suites, 809 Forest Avenue, Northfield, MN.
