Ronald G. Rumney, 58, of Sandwich, IL passed away, Sunday, September 25, 2011 at his home. He was born August 24, 1953 in Sandwich, IL, the son of Robert and Rosetta (Anderson) Rumney. He married his high school sweetheart, Becky Johnson on July 14, 1973 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Somonauk. They were married for 38 years.
Ron was currently disabled from a motorcycle accident that occurred in 1997. Prior to the accident he was employed at All-Steel, Inc. in Aurora for 23 years until they moved the company out of state. He then worked at Tri-County Concrete in Sandwich. He truly enjoyed that job.
Ron loved being outdoors, especially in the woods enjoying nature. He always felt at peace in the timber. All that knew him, know he had an adventurous spirit and was deeply devoted to his wife and family.
