Ronald Mortimore, 73, of Boulder

Ronald “Ron” or “Mort” Mortimore lost his six-year battle with kidney cancer on February 10, 2020.

Ron was born to Floyd Mortimore and Josephine (Pattingale) Mortimore on September 20, 1946 in Crawfordsville, IN. He grew up with his older brother Jerry Mortimore in Mellott, IN. They were involved as a family in the Boy Scouts. Ron’s unwavering work ethic began during high school when he worked on his uncle’s farm and in the school cafeteria, and continued throughout his life. 

Ron joined the FFA and signed up for chorus so he could be closer to his high school sweetheart, Barbara (Cotten). They married June 18, 1966 and had two children, Bonita and Rodney.
