In Memory of Ron Grover

Our condolences to the family of Ron Grover. Many of you know him via the annual Santa Fe Christmas Airedale walk, which he helped organize with his wife, Connie Amidon-Grover.

Ron is survived by his wife Connie Amidon-Grover, his daughter Sharon Scarlott and her husband Shawn, and three grandchildren Zackary, Isaac, and Savannah Scarlott. He was raised as an only child but he was blessed with many friends he considered family.

He was born in Albuquerque on February 22, 1945 to Mary Lobato. Later he moved to Santa Fe where he attended and graduated from Santa Fe High School. He even played the drums in a Rock n’ Roll band. He retired as the Chief Chemist at the Highway Department in Santa Fe. Ron Grover, 73 passed peacefully from this life on November 22, 2018. His spirit was released from his body and is now exploring the Universe.

Ron loved learning; he continued taking classes and attended conferences where he met many of his wonderful friends.

Ron’s great loves were his family, friends, chemistry, books, music, technology, photography, living in New Mexico and his beloved Airedales, not necessarily in that order. He was a character, but there was nothing he liked more than making people smile.
