He is survived by one son Ronald D. (Lori) Justice; two daughters, Debra L. Shreve and Donna E. Justice, all of Bellefontaine Ohio; 6 grandchildren; Ashlie (Gregory) Pohlman of St. Mary's Ohio, Rachael Cummons of Bellefontaine Ohio, Kyle Cummons of Columbus Ohio, Cory (Erin) Ransbottom of Bellefontaine Ohio, Wesley Ransbottom of Bellefontaine, Blake Ransbottom of Bellefontaine; plus 4 great grandchildren; siblings, Ralph P. Justice from Kentucky, Bea (David Salyers) Justice from Ohio, Lori (Jess Moore) Justice from Ohio, Carol (Palma) Justice from Kentucky; 14 nieces and nephews.
Ronald loved his family dearly and was strong in his Christian faith.
Ron retired from Rockwell International in Kenton, Ohio. He was an incredibly hard worker and provider for his family, always leading and teaching by example. Ron’s work ethic was incredible. He had a great sense of humor that would make you smile and shake your head. Ron was a talented machinist, mechanic, woodworker, and builder. In his younger days, he was noted as a great musician and entertainer with a beautiful, booming voice, often having fun changing the lyrics to songs on the fly. Ron will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A private family Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
