Ronald Gadsby

Born in Philadelphia, he resided in Warrington, PA before moving to Long Beach Island. After spending many summers in LBI, he settled there after marrying his wife, Susan, in 2003.

After graduating West Virginia University, Ron spent 35 years working as a bartender and in hotel maintenance at the Seashell Resort in Beach Haven. As part of his proud recovery, he spent much of his time providing guidance and support to others in their recovery journey. He eventually became a behavioral health technician at Enlightened Recovery in Egg Harbor City. Ron spent his time enjoying fishing with his friend, John, going to the beach, and cheering on all Philadelphia teams with his son, Connor and playing with his sassy, red-headed, doodle dog, Callie.

He was predeceased by his grandmother, Alice Devlin.

Surviving are his loving wife of 22 years, Susan; his son, Connor; his parents: Richard and Carol Gadsby; his siblings: Richard, Deborah, and Christina; seven nieces and nephews; two great-nephews; and a great niece on the way; his parents-in-law, Maureen and Dennis Schock; his siblings-in-law: Megan and Michael Podraza; and two nieces
