Ron Hale

Ron Hale, 77, passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his family on May 13, 2019, after an extended fight with cancer. Ron was born in North Vernon, Indiana, on November 20, 1941, and grew up in Indianapolis with his parents Etta Mae and Clyde Hale. After high school, Ron served in the U.S. Navy as a personnellman and was honorably discharged in 1963. That same year, Ron married Rosann Mills. They were married for over 55 years at the time of his passing. Their son Randy was born in 1964 and daughter Robyn in 1966. The family moved to Florida in 1971, upon Ron’s graduation from Ball State University. Over the years,  Ron and Rosann renovated numerous homes — each one better than the last. At age 60, Ron retired from the US Postal Service in the Tampa Bay area.

Ron is survived by his wife, two children, daughters-in-law Pilar and Veronica and son-in-law Steve, as well as grandchildren Sean, Robert, Conner and Cassidy and great-grandchildren Amron and Charlotte.
