BOARDMAN -- Ronald J. Lucicosky went to home to be with the Lord on Monday, Aug. 21, 2023, at his home.
Ron was born Feb. 2, 1946, to parents Alex and Pauline Androsec Lucicosky. He was a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School and was a member of the National Guard.
Ron worked for General Electric as a mechanic for over 36 years. He liked working with his hands and was very talented refinishing antiques, clocks and caning, which he sold at antique shows and flea markets for many years, along with his son, Mark.
He was a car buff and was very proud of the classic 1966 El Camino that he and Mark restored.
He looked forward mostly to spend time with his two grandchildren, Gabrielle and Grayson from Columbus, whom he loved dearly. He also loved camping trips with his trailer to state parks, Canada, and especially, Pymatuning State Park. Ron looked forward to setting up at Rogers Flea Market to sell antiques with Mark, who shared his passion for antiques, radios and fans. Together they enjoyed hunting for anything old that they could restore.
Ronald is survived by his wife of 53 years, Barbara, whom he married Oct. 31, 1970; his son, Mark of Boardman; a daughter, Dawn Elkins of Columbus, who was always there for him through all of his illnesses; and two grandchildren, Gabrielle and Grayson of Columbus.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a grandson, Nicholas Dean Elkins; a sister, Donna Rodriquez; and a brother, Richard.
Ron was a hard worker all his life and was always willing to help anyone who needed his help.
A special thank you to his niece, Val Rodriquez and Judy DeMarco, who were always there for him in times of need; and his two caring friends, Jim Moon and Dominic Precurato, who were always ready to help and lend a hand whenever needed.
Private services were held Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023, at Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home.
Interment was in Tod Homestead Cemetery.
