Ronald W. McMaster's Obituary
Ronald W. McMaster, 66, formerly of Louisville, arrived in the presence of his Lord and Savior on Saturday, March 21, 2015, at Altercare of Alliance, after a courageous and awesome battle with cancer.
His life can best be summarized and defined by love. He loved his family and friends very deeply and they loved him in return. He was a loving and devoted husband and best friend to his wife Robin. He was a loving master to his dog Bella who loved him and misses him greatly. He loved nothing more than talking about his family and friends except for perhaps his reminiscing of the many hunting and fishing excursions he took with his loved ones throughout his younger years. He loved to fish and talked about it incessantly with the onset of Spring each year.
Born on June 17, 1948 in Alliance, Ohio to Arthur and Eva (Burdick) McMaster, he lived in Homeworth and Louisville for most of his life. He was a 1966 graduate West Branch High School.
Ronald was member of First Christian Church in Alliance, where he found a home in a loving congregation of members who prayed for and supported him faithfully throughout his illness.
Ronald was employed at Ohio Drill & Tool as a Machine Operator and retired on March 1, 2013 after 41 years of service and loved the many friends he made there along the way.
Survivors include his wife, Robin L. (Schrom) McMaster, whom he married on October 21, 1977; a sister, Barbara (Randy) Byron of Acworth, GA; brother, Arthur McMaster, Jr. of Stow, OH; four nephews, Chris McMaster of Stow, OH, Andrew McMaster of Stow, OH, Jim (Jennifer) McMaster of Mt. Pleasant, SC, Rans (Amber) Byron of Acworth, GA; great-niece, Makayla McMaster of Mt. Pleasant, SC.
