He met the love of his life Toni Borah in Oklahoma City and they were married on March 26, 1975. To this union was born two lovely and beautiful daughters, Julie and Stephanie.

But his greatest love was for his family, especially, his two daughters Julie and Stephanie. He loved to go jogging with them around Eldon Lyon Park. He liked to stay up late with them and watch the TV show Mash; he also liked watching the Science-Fiction Channel. Ronald was a funny guy and liked to play jokes on his girls and sometimes he would sing funny songs to them in the mornings to wake them up. One of their fondest memories of their dad was that he would always make them breakfast every morning before they went to school. Sometimes the girls would have slumber parties on Saturday nights, and on Sunday mornings, he would bring donuts to Julie's best friend Paula's house. He also would take them driving in his white 1976 Ford Maverick, but before leaving, he would always say, "Put your seat belt on".
Although Ronald had multiple healthy problems, he was a good hearted man and would lend a helping hand to those in need, for example, he would occasionally help Julie and Stephanie's friend's mom, Betty, with her house. Ronald loved the Lord Jesus Christ and when he could, he and his wife Toni attended Life Church in Oklahoma City.
