Born in Scranton, he was the son of the late Raymond J. and Dolores Kirvelevich Filipkoski. A graduate of Scranton Technical High School, he was employed by Harper Collins Publishers.
Ron was a devoted sports fan whose heart belonged to the Dallas Cowboys. Win or lose, he stood by his team with unwavering dedication.

His love for them was boundless, and the time he spent with them meant more to him than anything else.
