Ronald Ray Schmid, also known as Ron or Ronnie, age 70, of St. Leonard, MD passed away on July 11, 2010 at his residence. Ron was born on March 11, 1940 in Alliance, Nebraska to Phillip G. and Lucille M. Schmid. Ron attended Rock Springs High School and graduated with the class of 1958. He moved to Southern Maryland in 1988 from Olney MD.
Not long after graduating from high school Ronald joined the United States Army on May 17, 1964. He traveled the nation and was stationed on many bases, including Ft. Huachuca, AZ, Ft. Carson, CO and Ft. Bragg, NC. Ron’s time in the Army may have been short lived, separating on April 30, 1969, but the one thing that stuck with him was the sense of duty and helping his fellow “man”. He volunteered his time to help many organizations such as the Optimist Club, Vista Volunteer for Calvert Health Care Solutions, just to name a few. When he was not volunteering his time he loved to cast a couple of lines hoping to catch that big one, and then tell the tale of how it got away. Boating and hunting were also great outdoor activities that he enjoyed immensely. When not spending time outdoors Ron loved to do carpentry work.
Ronald is survived by his wife of 46 years Janice M. Schmid. They were married on August 3, 1963 in Chevy Chase, MD. He is also survived by his two children, Cheryl Marshall of Gaithersburg, MD., and Michael Schmid of Mt. Airy, MD. Ron is also survived by his two siblings Phillip G. Schmid, Jr., of Iowa City, Iowa, and Glendle Reeve of Liberty Lake, Washington. Ron leaves behind four grandchildren and one great grandchild to cherish his legacy.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents Phillip and Lucille Schmid and by his sister Linda Kesselring.
