He was married to Arleen Closs from 1982-1985, and to Marjorie Hollerud from 1989 until his death. ‘Binkie', as Ron was known to friends and family, was a very active man who enjoyed waterskiing, camping, fishing, hunting, riding a bike, playing cards, and ‘shooting the breeze' with the boys. He traveled extensively to most of the U.S. over the last five decades of his life. Bink worked at Hormel from 1950-1981 and retired after a shoulder injury. In later years as his memory failed him, he resided at Primrose Cottage in Austin, Whispering Oaks in Ellendale, and lastly Our House in Austin.
