Ron went home to the Lord on April 4, 2020. Ron was born on June 20, 1940 in Honolulu, the eldest son of Walter and Helen Oshiro. He attended Lincoln Elementary, Stevenson Intermediate and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1958. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Hawaii, Ron was hired by Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company where he started his career in construction. Through his hard work and unending pursuit of excellence, he learned his craft well from respected industry legends working there at that time. Many of the stories and lessons shared throughout his life came from his time with Hawaiian Dredging. This invaluable experience laid the groundwork for his future success in construction, gaining not only the right knowledge, but more importantly, earning the respect of good people. Ron left Hawaiian Dredging for a management position with Avanti Construction, where he found his passion for the field of earthwork. While working there, he realized a need to venture out and start his own business. To prepare for this, Ron received his certificate from the State of Hawaii as a registered Professional Engineer, Civil Branch. Then, after obtaining a general contractor's license, he founded Rons Construction Corporation in 1976 (no apostrophe). Ron would later share one of the reasons for starting the business was the desire to provide his children with a mainland college education. In 1984, the Small Business Administration presented Rons Construction with the "Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year, Region IX" award. He was a member of the General Contractors Association of Hawaii (where he served as President in 2000), Waialae Country Club, and Oahu Country Club. Surviving Ron is his wife, Marjorie Oshiro, children Ranelle (Jeff) Bensch, Wade (He-Jin), Kevin (Patti), Guy Kaneshiro and Gaye Oshiro. Also grandchildren, Jace and Lauren Bensch, Andrew (Ruby), Therese and Sean Oshiro, Lindsay and Kelsey Oshiro, Christian and Cameron Oshiro and sister, Helen Kellogg. Ron will be dearly missed. May he rest in peace. Private services were held. Arrangements Provided By: Hosoi Garden Mortuary
