It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ronald Anthony Viano into the loving arms of our Lord on December 30, 2020. Ron was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 16, 1944 to Anthony and Rose Viano. The family moved to California in 1955 when Ron was 11 years old, and made their home in Granada Hills. Ron graduated from Granada Hills High School. He continued his education at Moorpark College, Pierce College in Woodland Hills, University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, and Regis College in Denver Colorado, majoring in Electronics and Quality Control, Engineering, Management Developmnet and Technical Management. He retired from Air Frame Manufacturing in Valencia, California in 2011 as Director of Marketing and Sales. Ron has a daughter Debra Renee Viano and son Ronald Mitchell Viano from a previous marriage. He also has a granddaughter Devon Viano. He married his wife, Vi in 1986 and raised her son Paul Lopez. He was also a loving father to Vi's daughter Lynn, son Robert and grandfather to Alex and Aaron. They had the most admiration and love for Ron. Ron's work required moving his family to Colorado for eight years, Florida for two years and returning to California making their permanent home in Murrieta. He was full of love, joy, kindness and goodness. Ron was very intelligent, knowledgeable; he was funny and had a great sense of humor. He was a self-made auto mechanic, carpenter, electrician, plumber and an all around handy man. There wasn't much he couldn't figure out. He enjoyed researching his family heritage from Italy. He loved fishing, taking his grandsons camping, going to the casinos and enjoyed talking, with many stories to tell. Most of all he was very loving and had a heart of gold. He had a saying, "Together Forever." He wrote these words in birthday and anniversary cards to his love of his life, Vi. When we meet again and are reunited, we will be "Together Forever." Ron loved his family very much and he will be greatly missed by all who loved him. Ron was preceded in death by his father Anthony Viano and mother Rose Viano.
