Ron was born Dec. 6, 1934, to Mary Kennedy and William Devlin in Dundee Scotland.

Ron fell at his home in Austin, Minn., on Feb. 12, where he suffered a second brain injury and was airlifted via Mayo One and subsequently, passed away Feb. 13, 2012, at St. Marys Hospital, in Rochester, Minn.

Ron met Marian Sessions on Valentine’s day in Las Vegas, Nev. They were married 29 years.

He is survived by his wife, Marian, Austin, Minn.; daughter, Teressa Cruickshank, (John), Son Marc, both of Monifieth, Dundee Scotland; stepchildren, Lindsay Schulz (Gary), Arlee, Mont., Cory Sessions, Farmington, Minn.; grandchildren; step-grandchildren; step-great-grandchildren.

Ron served in the British Royal Army and traveled the world in his service to his country. He was a materials manager for Dolphin Titan International and spent many years on oil rig platforms in the Bearing Sea, Baltic Sea, and off the coast of South America to name a few.

Ron hated being away from his wife, Marian, six months out of the year, so he landed a job at Mel Saxtons Austin Ford and became a natural, successful salesman. It was there where he was nicknamed “Scotty” as he was known by his customers, friends and co-workers through the years. After 20 years, he retired. Ron was a kind, generous, loving man. We celebrate his life and give thanks for his time on this earth. We will miss him dearly.

Friends may visit from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, the Devlin residence, 2401 7th Ave. SW. The family requests that memorials be donated to a charity of their choice.
