Born in Sellersville, he was the son of the late Howard W. Keyser and Bessie (Clemmer) Keyser.

Ronald joined the United States Air Force after graduating from High School.

He enjoyed fishing, hunting, skiing, and golfing. He enjoyed a cross-country trip that he and his wife, Cathy went on. They left from Rangeley, Maine and ended in Alaska, towing their 5th-wheel trailer.

Surviving along with his wife, Cathy of 65 years, is his son Ronald L. Keyser, Jr., husband of Joanne; daughter Shannon Heimbach, wife of Jerry; grandchildren Collin Keyser, Caitlin Grungo, Austin Morgan, Jack Morgan, and Lindsay Sivick; great grandchildren Stella, Colette, Karlyn, and Kinsley. He is predeceased by his son Gregory H. Keyser and his sister Linda K. Bare.

I’m very sad to hear the news of Ron’s passing. My condolences go out to the Keyser family.
Ron hired me at the dealership forty years ago and became a mentor as I progressed in my long career at Keyser Miller. I still reflect on life lessons learned from him all those years ago.

Dear Cathy: My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I’m sure Brent was up there waiting for Ron with a fishing pole so they could fish together once again. Sorry I can’t get to the funeral but know that I will be thinking of you. Love Mae
