Born on March 26, 1943, in Mt. Pleasant, PA, the son of the late Edward J. and Nell A. Shubra Misiewicz. Ron was a man whose life was marked by devotion to his family, his faith, and his community. Ron graduated from East Huntingdon High School in the Class of 1961 and continued his education at St. Vincent College in Latrobe.

His work ethic was unwavering, demonstrated by his 20 years of service with the Mt. Pleasant Cab Company and his 30 years as a district manager for the Daily Courier. A devout and active Catholic, Ron's faith was a cornerstone of his life. He was a lifelong member of the Partner Parish of St. Joseph R.C.

His commitment to his faith and church was evident in everything he did. Ron is survived by his loving family, including his daughters Julie A. Blair and her husband Brandon of Ligonier, PA, and Jennifer D. Palmiscno of Scottdale, PA. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Kayla, Jae, Jacob, Lucas, and Elena Palmiscno, Halle Blair, and Mackenzie Bastian, and her husband Ryan.
