Ron Busch

Freelance Writer

Writing for Today's Catholic and the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend was one way Ron Busch used his talents for the Church. He enjoyed meeting committed Catholics in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, area. Ron had an interesting journey: When he passed away in 2018, he was married and the father of two. He had experience in teaching, the machine tool trades and was serving as an academic advisor for a local college while writing for Today's Catholic. He appreciated that readers allowed him to share their stories, and often asked for God’s blessings on their life journeys.
