It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected and peaceful passing of Ronald R. Adee on Friday, April 7, 2023. He is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Elaine A. Kloss. Ron was born on July 17, 1951 in Hutchinson, Kansas to Raymond and Barbara (Boardman) Adee, who both predeceased him. He grew up in Newton, Kansas, where he attended Newton High School.
