Ronald Joseph Blischok, 85, of Palmer Twp. passed away on Thursday, July 18, 2024, in his home surrounded by his loving family. Born on December 18, 1938 in New Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Frank and Mary (Pavalko) Blischok. He graduated from Nativity BVM High School in Pottsville and enlisted in the United States Navy and served as a Petty Officer 3rd Class with an honorable discharge. Sixty-two years ago, he married his bride, Margaret Gemmell, moved to Linden, NJ where they raised their family. He was employed by General Motors as a welder, electrician, and robotics instructor, retiring after 47 dedicated years.

Ronald was a cherished member of St. Jane Frances de Chantal Church, where his faith was a guiding light in his life. Together with his beloved wife, Margaret, he dedicated many hours volunteering at the Easton Area Society of St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, always eager to serve others. Ronald's commitment to his community extended to his involvement with the Highlands of Glenmoor Building and Grounds Committee, where he took pride in enhancing the neighborhood he loved.

Whether he was casting a line as an avid fisherman, perfecting his swing on the golf course, or skillfully playing pool, he embraced each activity with enthusiasm and wit. His family will forever remember his exceptional culinary talents and the beautifully crafted woodworking projects that filled their home with warmth and love.

Ronald had an extraordinary gift for problem solving. No challenge was too daunting, and his handyman skills were legendary. He could troubleshoot and find a solution to any issue, always with a calm and determined demeanor. Ronald's kindness knew no bounds; he was always ready to lend a helping hand to someone in need.

Above all, Ronald treasured his time with Jesus, his family, and the people in his community. His gentle spirit and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on all who knew him.
