never really retired. He helped out George and Larry
Wilham on the farm and mowed numerous yards in Mt.
Pulaski along with Mary over the years. For several
years, Ron and Mary owned and operated Farmers

and sitting at the restaurant visiting with all his
friends. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with
his family, especially his grandchildren.
