Ron was born in Moscow, ID on November 12th, 1953, and grew up on the family farm in Potlatch Idaho as a child.  Later, he graduated from Potlatch High School in 1972 and soon after joined the US Navy where he served two years, and 6 months before being honorably discharged.  After serving, he returned home and married Sharol “Shari” Candler on November 22d, 1975, and attended Lewis-Clark State College where he received a certificate in Appliance Repair.  Ron was a man of many trades.  He worked at the Lewiston, Potlatch, and Edwards sawmills, farmed with his family, and then returned to the mill community where he spent time at the sawmill in Princeton, Idaho as a trimmer operator. 

When Ron wasn’t working or spending time with his family, he could be found in his garden utilizing his amazing green thumb to grow various vegetables, in his shop working on his next woodworking project, or sitting next to a fishing hole.  He loved to tell stories and always made everyone around him feel welcome, Ron never met a stranger.
