John Christian"Dugga"Ringe

Born May 28, 1954, he passed from this life into the next on November 8, 2015. John was a loving and caring husband, father, Pop-Pop, son, brother, Godfather, cousin, and friend. He was married to the love of his life, Kathy, for 42 years. His life was centered around his family and he cherished his 8 grandchildren, anxiously awaiting his 9th. He never missed one of their games, meets, graduations, or dance recitals. He was a 3rd generation "telephone man", and retired in March from AT&T after 42 years of service. He now rests in God's Kingdom, his body stronger than ever with wings to carry him along and guide us and watch over us, just as he did here in life. He is survived by his loving wife Kathy; son and daughter-in-law Michael and Bridget; son and daughter-in-law Troy and D'Ann; Son Corey; and 9 grandchildren: Mikelyn, Micah, Grace, Aliye, Noah, Jonah, Brayden, Elijah "Lil-Bit", and McKenna. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, John and Peggy Ringe; brother Chuck Ringe; Father and mother-in-law, Shurman and Myrtle Borskey; and sister-in-law Patricia Small.
