Ronald Allen Harbison, 65 of Hawaii Kai, HI and Las Vegas, NV. He was an airforce brat, born abroad but raised primarily in Foster Village, HI. Ron was a 1970 graduate of Radford HS, and a few yrs. later migrated to Las Vegas. Here he had a successful career with Boyd Gaming starting at the California Hotel, where he met his future wife Gigi. After 38 yrs. in LV, Ron and Gigi retired and moved back to Oahu, his 2nd true love! My Ron was a devoted husband, and father to Ron S. Harbison (ShonShon) and Maile Harbison (Daniel), and adored his grandchildren Hanna and Henley. Ron passed away on May 2, after a year long battle with pancreatic cancer. Ron is survived by his siblings, Richard and Kim Harbison. There will be no visitation services for Ron donated his body to scientific study at Burns University. We will have a Celebration of Life for him on June 15, from 5-8pm on Oahu. Please contact Gigi for further information.

I was very sad to read the news of Ron's passing. I knew Ron since we played Little League together. I remember we were the only Lefties on the team. Ron was always a friendly and mellow person. He was very easy to get along with, and had a calming demeanor. I was happy to hear that he moved back to Hawaii to live, and enjoy his final years there. He will be missed.
