Ron Dunster was born at the end of the Great Depression and like many others from that era, he lived through some difficult times early on. However, he knew that if he established ambitions and dreams, and worked hard enough at achieving them, success in anything he set his mind to was possible. He also believed that along with that success came a responsibility to give back and pay forward to family, friends, and his community. That belief became the core of his character throughout his life and it was the driver of his generosity, community leadership, volunteerism, compassion and selflessness that always made him think of others before himself.
