We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Ron McDaniel, who dedicated 38 years to NHADA as Director of Services, overseeing the Products Division and Credit/Life Insurance Program. Ron’s quick wit, unmistakable sass, and infectious sense of humor made every day a little brighter for those who had the pleasure of working with him.
He was loved by all — not just for his sharp mind and steadfast work ethic, but for his heart. Ron had a way of making everyone feel seen and valued, offering kindness and compassion when it mattered most. Colleagues recall countless moments of laughter and lighthearted mischief, but also the deep care he showed through life’s challenges. Whether lending a hand, sharing a joke, or simply being there when someone needed him most, Ron embodied what it meant to be part of the NHADA family.
His legacy of dedication, laughter, and friendship lives on through the many people and businesses he touched across New Hampshire’s automotive community. Ron was truly one of a kind — a mentor, a friend, and a cherished part of NHADA’s story.
Services are as follows:
