A Difficult Loss

Ronald had a long career addressing public health matters after earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Health Education and related fields.
“Many who knew the couple [Kate and Ronald] were unaware of his impressive background and history as an educator, author, innovator and expert on many matters of public health and drug abuse treatment and training techniques,” his obituary read.
