Ronald was born in Denver, Colorado to Pete Bartusiak and Martha Gregroski.

In June of 1958 he entered the Novitiate of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in Lafayette, LA. Ronald attended St. Michael's College in 1959. In 1960 he went to Winona, Minnesota, and joined the scholasticate there in the Working Brothers Program for one year. In January of 1961 he returned to Santa Fé, NM and St. Michael's College in the Scholasticate to continue in basic studies and religion studies and to work in the college maintenance department in the afternoons. When his group graduated from the college, he was assigned to the College Faculty Community and started working in the maintenance department. Ronald worked in the building maintenance with plumbing, carpentry, welding, etc. Ronald was very talented in a number of areas. In 1965 he started in the motor pool department and took over the responsibility for the locks and keys. Brother Ron has seen the St. Michael's campus change the name to the College of Santa Fé, and when the college closed in May 2019 it became the Santa Fé University of Art and Design. Later he retired to the Brothers residence of St. Michael's High School where he continued in maintenance work until his death. Brother Ronald was a very generous and devout Brother.
