Ronald E. Stephans
Ronald E. Stephans, 77, of Mars from Woods Run passed away following a short illness Wednesday.
Ron proudly served as a mechanic in the U.S. Air Force from 1961 to 1965.
After a lifetime of hard work, often at multiple jobs, Ron enjoyed his retirement years exploring flea markets with friends, finding and selling treasures, often to Joyce's dismay. (After all, how many bikes and riding lawn mowers does one person really need?)
Another favorite pastime was meeting his buddies for coffee every morning at 7-Eleven.
He was the devoted husband of nearly 51 years to Joyce; loving father of Lori Silvester (David) of Cranberry Township and Eric Stephans (Keri) of Mars; beloved “Puppy” to Kate and Harrison Silvester and Lily and Ella Stephans; and the brother of Bill (Sueanne) of Pittsburgh, Bob (Carol) of Southport, N.C., and the late Edward “Butchie” of Pittsburgh.
He was also the uncle to Brian (Robin), Mike (Kelly), David (Melissa) and Amy; and his great-nephews and niece.
