Ron was born on January 31, 1944, in Chicago, Illinois to Joseph and Lillian Lechwar. He enlisted in the United States Air Force where he worked as a jet mechanic. His favorite memories of his service were co-piloting the T-33 to test McChord Air Force Base’s defenses. After the air force, he dedicated himself to learning all aspects of the oil production industry where he had continued to work. He highly valued education and obtained several college degrees in Business, Safety Engineering and Computer Science. He loved spoiling his dogs and spent his final days doting on his Maggie Mae. While he enjoyed his work and dogs, his true passion was his beloved wife, Ruth Lechwar.
