During his life he also served as a Palisades Interstate Park ranger, a veteran Boy Scout leader, and was a dedicated Trustee of Hackensack Riverkeeper. The scholarship that bears his name is a tribute to a life lived in the service of others. “One of the many things I learned from Ron during the all-too-short time he was with us was the value of education, of never letting a teachable moment pass,” said Capt. Sheehan. “And that’s something all of us can do – and should do – because your time is the best investment you can make in the life of a young person.” Founded in 1997 by Captain Sheehan, Hackensack Riverkeeper is the leading environmental advocacy organization working on the Hackensack River. As such, it is uniquely positioned to address problems and find solutions within the entire Hackensack River Watershed.
