He has crafted and hand-built some of his own custom guitars, knives, and even furniture. He loved martial arts and was a second-degree black belt in Jiu-Jitsu and stayed fit by cycling, roller blading and meeting his children at the local gym for a family kickboxing session. Ronald was also an avid outdoorsman, and went on numerous fishing and camping trips at his favorite campground Millbrook in Errol, NH. You would often find him fly-fishing on his boat and enjoying the beauty of nature.
