Biography:

Ron Pesavento developed a habit of involvement with Lockport High School basketball.  It started when he attended Lockport High School and started attending games.  It lasted for more than 55 years leading to his induction.

The only break came from 1943-1946 when he served with the US Army in the Pacific Theater.  Ron began keeping team scrapbooks in 1965 and continued through his induction.  With brother Ray, he attended all Lockport games, home and away. 

 A staunch supporter of all sports, Ron has coached Little League baseball for 29 years and Lockport dedicated a baseball field in his name.  The people of Lockport could never thank the Pesavento brothers in full for their long years of support and efforts on behalf of Lockport High School basketball.  Ron Pesavento died on April 26, 2006 at the age of 81.
