Ronald Frambach

Ronald “Ron” Frambach was born on February 11, 1941, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He was the second son of David Frambach and Rose Lepine Frambach. He married Avis “Bea” E. Hanlon on March 28, 1964, and together they raised their daughters, Laura Elizabeth and Rebecca Irene “Becky”.

Ron and Bea were baptized as Jehovah‘s Witnesses on August 25, 1973. They enjoyed sharing their Bible–based hope of a better world, soon to come, under God’s Kingdom government. Ron continued to reach out to comfort and support others until he fell asleep in death on March 19, 2022. He was cared for at home by his loving wife and oldest daughter, Laura, and surrounded by love and support from his daughter Becky, and many, many dear friends.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents and his older brother, Bob. He is survived by his wife Bea and daughter, Laura, of Sheffield, MA; his daughter, Becky, of Willow Creek, CA; his brother Richard (Mary) of Epsom, N.H., as well as several cousins.

Ron always had a special place in his heart for young people, and served as a friend and father for many youths facing hard times. He worked as a counselor at Kolburne, Eagleton, Brookside, and DeSisto schools. He enjoyed camping with his family and riding his Honda motorcycle in the beautiful Berkshire area. The family has happy memories of traveling together to attend assemblies of Jehovah’s Witnesses. There were always dogs, cats, and other family pets at the Frambach home in Sheffield.

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the many kindnesses of the following organizations: the Sheffield Senior Center, Sheffield Town Hall, Marketplace Meals, Meals On Wheels, Hospice of the Berkshires, and the community of Sheffield. We also deeply appreciate the love and support of our spiritual family of fellow Witnesses of Jehovah, from so many places.
