He graduated from Waterloo East High School in 1962, and then began working with his father at the family’s business, Vose Moving Company.

On November 14, 1964, Ronald married Susan Lee Aeby at Grace Brethren Church in Waterloo, and they enjoyed 58 devoted years together.

Ronald was President of Vose Moving Company where he worked alongside his father, brother, his children and their spouses; supported by his wife. Originally the business specialized in moving houses and later transitioned to industrial moving, including plant relocation, heavy transportation and crane service in the 1970’s.

Ronald will be remembered for his strong faith in the Lord and his love for his family. He enjoyed fishing in Minnesota and Texas. Ronald was a car collector, and spent many hours working on cars with his son, Ronald Jr. He also collected and built diecast models and followed in his father’s footsteps with his love of trains.
