Capt. Ronald R. Thiem
On March 7, 2021, the world lost a hero, our incredible father and mentor, Capt. Ronald R. Thiem.
Born March 30, 1936 to Fredrick Eldon Thiem and Phyllis Irene Roberts Thiem in Springfield, Ohio.
Blonde haired blue eyed gangly boy that loved cars. He had a 1936 Ford Coupe that he would win the local high school races with. He hand-painted it with enamel house paint and a brush, sanding it in between coats, and his mom made the seat covers and his dad made the stick shift for him.
A memory he keeps going back to over the last 6 months is going to Key West, FL to see his big brother Skip. He stayed with Skip for the summer until he left for the Air Force boot camp. He comments how that was when his “life began.” He loved the Air Force.

That’s when Taunette Dixon and her organization, the Newport Fishermen’s Wives, stepped in. This group quickly mobilized to provide food, supplies, infant formula, pet food, fuel cards, masks, gloves and money for past-due utility payments to fishing families who had been hit by the pandemic.
