As a young adult, Ronald Cieslak ’77 made the decision to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints—a choice that shaped the rest of his life. After serving a mission in Montreal, Canada, he returned to California and began a career as an accountant with Ford Aerospace, where he remained for more than 40 years. In 2022, he retired and moved to Elk Ridge, Utah. His greatest joy came from serving others, especially as a home teacher. Ron died on March 15, 2025.
