They were married September 22, 1962 at Barron, WI and lived in Coon Rapids, MN where they started their family of five children. They lived in Forest Lake, Chisago City and Almelund, MN before moving to Prairie Farm, WI in 1978 and operating a dairy farm north of town. In 1996, Ron and Linda moved to Hillsdale, then to Barron, WI in 2015 and most recently to the Dove Healthcare facility in Rice Lake, WI.
