Ronald J. Bachman, 91, of Wadsworth passed away July 29, 2023. He was born in Wadsworth on March 25, 1932 to the late Martin L. and Ellen S. Bachman.

Ronald enjoyed boating, fishing, snowmobiling, and cheering for the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Wadsworth Grizzlies. He loved big dogs and horses. He was retired from North American Roto Engravers.

Ronald loved building race cars when he was younger and loved anything to do with racing. He could fix anything – he even designed and built his own motor home. He had a big smile and a gift of gab.
