Ron honorably served our nation in the U.S. Army.

On May 3, 1969 at Holy Cross Church in Deerfield, IL, he was united in marriage to Carol Craig.

Ron began his entrepreneurial career with Ron’s Rubbish Removal which then became Tri-County Disposal. At the time of his death, Ron and his family own and operate Truesdell Mini-Mart (Hwy. 50 & County H) and Countryside Market (Hwy. 45 & County C) in Bristol.

He was a faithful member of St. Mary Catholic Church where he served his parish as an usher.

Ron’s life was his God, baseball, his sons and grandkids, and “the wife”- in that order! Ron served as State of WI Babe Ruth Commissioner for over 25 years. In the Babe Ruth League he coached the Kiwanis All Stars and the Kenosha Indians. He managed many teams with the Kenosha Little Leaguers. Ron’s businesses also sponsored many different sports teams in the Kenosha community throughout the years. He also coached St. Joseph High School Lancer Varsity Baseball in 1994-1995.

Ron is survived by his wife of 46 years, Carol Schuler; his two sons, Steve (Shelby) Schuler and Ron (Julie) Schuler; his five precious grandchildren, Pete, Jake, Ellie, Tori and Luke; and his brother, Robert Schuler.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Tommy in infancy.
