Description"Former Republican state Assemblyman and Union City Commissioner Ronald A. Dario, 66, died Wednesday at Paul Kimble Hospital, Lakewood, following a heart attack.

Dario, a protégé of former North Hudson political boss William V. Musto, was a sponsor of several key state bills, including the takeover of the Jersey City school system and what would eventually become the Distressed Cities program.

Those who knew Dario expressed shock at his death and said they would miss a man described as loving life and who was always optimistic, even under stressful situations. Most of them were aware that over the years he had undergone two quadruple coronary bypasses and recently had a stent inserted, but said that he was still always upbeat."
