Obituary
Ronald Paul “Ron” Harrelson, 79, of
Latham, formerly of both Decatur and Peoria, passed
away on Monday, January 23, 2023, at Liberty Village
in Clinton.
Ron was born on July 15, 1943, in Peoria, the son of
Paul Walston and Ida Mae (Beattie) Harrelson.
He is survived by his son, Scott (Cynthia) Harrelson
of Latham, and his sister, Sue Tyler of Imperial,
MO. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Ron worked for Caterpillar for 38 years serving in
various leadership roles where he traveled the world
extensively to different plant locations. He served
as the International President of S.M.E. (Society of
Manufacturing Engineers) where he built many
professional relationships. |
In retirement, Ron was an avid
bicyclist and rode many trails in both the United
States and Canada. His only regret is not finishing
the Route 66 trail. In more recent years, Ron stayed
incredibly active and enjoyed walking sometimes two
to three miles every day.
Services for Ron will take place at a later date in
Benton, where he will be laid to rest next to his
family.
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Mt. Pulaski
is assisting the family with arrangements.
