Ron is preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Amelia Esposito, and his younger sister Elaine Valinsky of Pittsburgh, PA.
Ron was a gifted artist who shared his work with everyone to enjoy. He was extremely good at drawing people and angels and enjoyed creating Christmas and Birthday cards for his friends and family. He had a love for music especially for Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Carly Simon, Jackson Brown, Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac and The Killers. He loved to collect angels and his house was filled with them. He had a dry sense of humor that made everyone laugh and was a good friend to those who were close to him, who will miss him dearly.
