Ronald Vear McCune, 70, died peacefully in his sleep on March 21, 2011 at Akron City Hospital. He tried to fight the cancer that grew so rapidly but chose to take the path to his heavenly Father.
Ron was born in Akron on February 11, 1941 to the late Vear and Lila (Fornash) and lived here his entire life.
