He was born September 7, 1938 in Milwaukee, son of the late Henry and Rose (nee Monta) Eick. Ron grew up in the Tess Corners area (currently Muskego) and attended local schools there. The family attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and he was confirmed on April 6, 1952. Ron was a 1956 graduate of West Milwaukee High School before enlisting in the US Army. He served with the 532 Combat Engineers in Italy from 1957 – 1959. After he left the military, Ron entered the printing industry and became a color camera man at Mandel Co., Eldorado and KZG, belonging to Local M577 of the Printers & Advertising Union. He retired in 1996. On February 26, 1965, Ron was united in marriage with Jacquelyn "Jackie" Kristopeit at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Tess Corners.

He also enjoyed fishing, reading, snowmobiling in Florence County, listening to music from the '50's, watching western movies - especially John Wayne, The History Channel and the Green Bay Packers.
