Ronald Walter Roff was born on November 20, 1948 in Rice Lake to Walter and Loretta (Turcotte) Roff. He grew up in the Rice Lake / Almena area and graduated from Cumberland High School in 1967. He dairy farmed with his father on the family farm in the Town of Crystal Lake, Barron County. Ron farmed his entire life but was forced to retire early in 2013 due to his health.

Ron was united in marriage on July 28, 1995 to Lynette B. Mueller at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Tigerton.
Ron enjoyed going to farm auctions, playing pool, deer hunting, and cooking. He especially loved going to tractor pulling events with his Massey-Harris 101 Senior Tractor. Ron served as President and Treasurer for a number of years with the Indianhead Tractor Pullers Association of Barron County. He was a people person who always made friends wherever he went.
