RONALD R. KNIPPER, 74, of Fort Wayne, went to be with the Lord on September 5, 2018. He was the most happy-go-lucky, easy-going guy, who didn’t know a stranger. He was devoted to God and his family. He served in the Navy and enjoyed telling stories about it. He was the son of the late Robert and Voilet Knipper. He was also preceded in death by his wife, Judith Knipper, brother, Reginald Knipper, and daughter, Gloria Diller. He is survived by his; sons, Ken Diller of Melbourne, FL. and Gary (Michele) Diller of Fort Wayne; daughter Heidi Knipper, of Fort Wayne; grandchildren, Jennifer, Rodney, Dominick, Monica, and Nicole; and great-grandchildren, Elijah, Caroline, and Greyson, sisters, Cookie Rash of Crescent Springs, KY and Fran (Steve) Bengs of Fort Wayne, and brother, Robert (Kristy) Knipper of Albion, IN. He will be greatly missed!
