Howard Dalton Tron, age 84, passed from this life into the hands of our Lord and Savior at 11:05 pm, Wednesday, December 15, 2010, after a month long battle with lung cancer. He was the son of Arthur Ernest Tron and Frances Mae (Fox) Tron, born and raised on Conservancy Road, Wayne Township, Dayton, which is now Bridgewater Road.

He faithfully attended First Baptist Church; was a veteran of WWII, U.S. Army Air Corps; loved gardening and planting flowers; and worked for many years with Miami Conservancy District, Wayne Township (Huber Heights) Schools and Dayton-Montgomery County Park District.
