An incredible, multi-talented artist, Ron’s ceramic tile career spanned several decades, but his musical passion was life-long.
Ron was devoted to Sylvia, his wife of over 26 years, and a wonderful dad to Rachael, Kyle, Jean-Paul and Ian. That dad example was poured out on many others over the years as well.
Ron pursued many hobbies, among them were hunting and fishing with his boys and duck carving. He took such pride in his many meticulous building projects and is also a past president of Scarborough Fish and Game Association.
Ron’s love of all things music is evidenced by the many bands and countless other musicians whose lives he was a part of over many, many years. He lived best when he was playing music. His presence on the music scene will be missed.
Also surviving Ron: are two sisters, Judy Carter (husband Dana) of Lyman and Jane LaPoint (husband Mike) of Saco; a brother, Bernard (wife Donna) of Biddeford; and nephews, nieces and grandchildren as well.
A celebration of Ron’s life will be held for friends and family at 5 p.m. Friday, April 21, at Jimmy the Greek’s in Old Orchard Beach followed by lots of music from 7 to 10 p.m.
The family requests in lieu of flowers, donations of live plants and shrubs may be made toward a forever, living garden in Ron’s memory at his home.
