Ron Black Passes

The community was saddened by the news of the death of Ron Black, a prominent citizen of the June Lake Loop for a dozen or more years, since retiring from nearly a half-century long career in military and civilian law enforcement to move here with his wife of then five years. Ron and Connie built the Double Eagle Ranch, Double Eagle Resort, Eagle's Landing Restaurant, and Creekside Spa. These properties have been regarded as a considerable contribution to our community as a full-featured resort.

Ron's community contribution did not stop there. Ron is very well remembered, and took a hand in community affairs for our betterment. He was involved in and achieved positive action in many boards and committees, including the Citizen's Advisory Commitee, june Lake Loop Chamber of Commerce, June Lake Fire Protection District, Mono County Planning Commission, and Mono County Grand Jury. He could also be known as an avid sportsman, here in an environment where fishing and hunting opportunities abound nearby.

His death comes after a long battle with serious illnesses which seemed to accelerate after his heart attack and subsequent transplant a few years ago. Services and Burial for Ron Black will be held in Southern California on October 19. Connie survives Ron along with his children Bettina, Ronda, Ralph, Kathy, and Kelli; son and daughters-in-law Art, John Allen, Kris and Karen; along with 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He will be missed by many. You can read the Mammoth Times obituary here. Ron Black was 71.
