To know Ron was to love Ron. The only thing that eclipsed the enormity of his fun-loving sense of humor was the love he had for his wife, his endless support of his family, the pride he had in being a Marine, and his enthusiasm for reading.

Ron spent most of his life in finance having worked for the Garvice Kinkaid Organization, the Winchester Bank, the Bank of Danville, and was the former Bank President of both the Richmond Bank in Richmond, Kentucky and First State Bank in Monticello, Kentucky. He was also a member of the Masonic Lodge.

He was the loudest, most ardent supporter of his children’s and grandchildren’s events and activities and was fondly referred to as “Grampa” not only by his own grandchildren, but every player on their teams. He was there.

“Pistol,” as his father called him, was a huge fan of good margaritas, laughter and telling stories, music of his youth, Kentucky Basketball, and good times around the table with his family often saying, “it’s not what’s on the table, it’s who’s around it.”

As a proud Class of 1959 graduate of Bracken County High School, he lived his life in accordance with the sign in the gymnasium that read, “When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, He writes not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game.” Game well played, Ron Weaver.
