April 2017 Volunteers of the Month

Ron Longino & Bob Cleaver stand by the courts, which is where they always are! We are looking around to see where they are keeping their cots.

Ron Longino

Grew up in Georgetown, lots of changes since I graduated in 1964. Graduated Texas Tech in 1969. Married 49 years to D'Les. We have two daughters and six grandkids. Spent 3 years full time RV-ing after retiring, then settled in Sun City one year ago. Having fun. 

Bob Cleaver

I grew up in the metro Denver area of Colorado and lived in Colorado Springs since 1994. My working days were spent in the building automation system and temperature control business. It was a great experience and allowed me to travel all over the state of Colorado working on all sorts of projects – hospitals to prisons and everything in between.

Diane and I met each other and were married in 1999 after both of our spouses had died of cancer. We call these the CRAZY years – combining my 5 children and her 2 children into a family and navigating all of the drama that comes with having 5 girls and 2 boys - ages 7 – 19. We are VERY thankful that this all turned out well and have been through 4 weddings (all girls) and have 7 grandkids. We were both looking forward to the day when we could start a new adventure.

On December 31st, 2015 I retired 15 days after the youngest child graduated from college and we loaded the moving truck headed to Sun City. We arrived in early January 2016 expecting to play golf, go to the gym, ride bikes and explore our new community but then the UNEXPECTED happened. We were introduced to pickleball and have become a bit addicted to the game and the great folks that we have met on the courts. It is such a great exercise alternative to what we had become accustomed to and a lot of fun.

I enjoy volunteering and helping with the different classes. We are very blessed to be a part of this community and our new adventures!
