He enjoyed playing and watching golf, shooting, chopping wood, gardening, spending time with family, friends, and former co-workers, and taking drives around the country roads.
Ron is survived by his sons, David (Grace) Mohlke of Valparaiso and Howard (Jill) Mohlke of La Porte; granddaughters, Jennifer, Sarah, and Megan; and great-grandchildren, Elise and Caden. Ron was preceded in death by his parents; ex-wife, Nancy (Gearhart); son, Ronald F.
