Ronald "Ron" "Hoss" Raymond Frank

Frank, Ronald “Ron”, “Hoss” R., age 58, of Waterford, passed away unexpectedly at his residence July 6, 2021. Ron was born to Gary and Arlene (nee. Janus) November 21, 1962, in Milwaukee where he grew up and went to school. After graduating from Greenfield High School, Ron started working as a fabricator for a few businesses. The job he liked the best was welding and installing industrial ovens for I.H.E.I. inc. for the longest time. Ron enjoyed watching or going to his favorite Wisconsin sports teams’ games, Packers, Bucks, Brewers and Badgers. He also loved muscle cars, boating and riding his Harley. Ron joined the “Road Runners Motorcycle Club” where he was given the name “Hoss”; he was a proud member for many years. He loved anything with a motor, broke or not, he could fix it. We can still hear him utter his favorite phrase, “OUCH”.
Ron cherished his family, especially his mom, his niece Jamie and nephews Gary and Ryan; he would always call them “my boys”. He had a special bond with them. Everyone who knew him knew he loved his dogs... Buddy, Thor and Nikki. His love for them was second to none. If you knew him as Ron or Hoss or by any other name you knew he had a big heart and was always there when needed. He will be dearly missed.
Ron is survived by his dad Gary, brothers and sisters, Denise (Rick) Gear, Gina (Rich Edson) Vinz, Scott (Heather); nieces and nephews, Kelly (Patrick), Jamie, David, Gary, Ryan (Shannon Vinz) and Kaila; great nieces and nephews: Tucker, Dillon, Marley, and Charlotte “Charlie”; his brothers in the club and many friends and extended family.
Preceded in death by his beloved mother Arlene, and his grandparents.
