Cochran Funeral Home of Hiawassee announces memorial services for Mr. Ronald J. Twarog, age 70, of Hiawassee, who passed away Friday, September 13, 2013, at Union General Hospital in Blairsville from complications due to cancer.
Ron was born in Chicago, Illinois, on September 4, 1943, to Joseph and Julia Twarog. He worked for Western Electric and AT&T as a cabling engineer until his retirement in 1999. He completed his career with AT&T as a manager in Atlanta. Ron proudly served his country in Korea as a U.S Army veteran. He enjoyed gardening and sports, especially the Chicago Cubs, Black Hawks and Bears.

Many other extended family and friends also share in his legacy.
