Ron was born in Palmerton, Pennsylvania to Jean and Sadie Heine on April 22, 1938.  He graduated from Lehighton High School.  He married Sandra Schnauffer January 13, 1957.  He was drafted into the US Army in 1961 and retired in 1981 at the rank of Major.  He graduated from Cameron University with a Bachelor's Degree and received his Master's Degree a few years later.  He was a Veteran of the Vietnam War serving in the US Army and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation with Palms, and Meritorious Service Medal with 1st Oak Leaf Cluster.

Ron loved his family above all else.  He was the happiest when out camping, fishing and traveling across the United States with his wife and granddaughter.  He collected coins and had an extensive model train display.  Both of these hobbies gave him great joy.

Ron is survived by Sandra Heine, wife of 65 years; Annerose England, daughter, married to Marc England; Amanda Daily, granddaughter, married to Coleman Daily; their son, Stetson Daily, great-grandson; Kevin Sowell, son-in-law; Nancy Davitt, sister; Wilbur Schnauffer, brother-in-law; and many, many wonderful nieces, nephews, and friends.

Ron's family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to Autumn Leaves of Cityview, Dr. Le's office, and Lenity Light Hospice for the loving attention he received while he was in their care.
