Ronald A. Chilcot, age 81, of Chesterland, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 12, 2020. Born on November 30, 1938 in New York, NY, to Gordon & Margaret Chilcot, Ron grew up in Johnstown, PA, graduating from Johnstown High School. He served in the Coast Guard for five years and then worked as a field technician repairing cash registers and mainframe computers for NCR until his retirement in 1999. He enjoyed collecting ‘neat’ stuff and could never pass up a bargain.
To the rest of the world, he will be remembered for his generous heart and his ability to make friends wherever he went. But to us, he will be remembered as a wonderful dad to Lauri; good friend to ex-wife Linda and son-in-law Mike; loving grandfather to Leah (Josh) and Anna (Greg); caring brother to Darlene (Ron), Raymond (June) and Gary; and uncle to many nieces and nephews. He also leaves two great-grandchildren—Graham and Lark—and a future great-granddaughter (August 2020).
Ron was welcomed by his mom, dad, and brothers—Danny, Jeff, and Jim.
Should friends desire, donations may be sent to a charity of their choice in honor of Ron. Private services will be held at a later date.
