He was born June 22, 1937 in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada, son of the late Clifford and Irene Curley Healey.

Ron was a proud Canadian Navy veteran who served from 1954 to 1959. He always enjoyed sharing Navy stories with his fellow American marines, including his grandson and son-in-law. He is known in the community for his outstanding contributions to Framemasters Inc. and before retiring was employed by the John Deere Corporation.

He was a member of Holy Apostles Parish, where he was escorted for many years, and Thule Lodge. Being very athletic in his youth, he had a passion for golf where he spent many enjoyable hours with friends and family in Link and was a lifelong football and baseball fan, being one of the biggest fans of The Toronto Blue Jays. Ron always enjoyed a good jab at his New York Yankees friends.
