Ronald Paul Presco 1953-2026

Ronald, affectionately known as Ronnie to close family and friends, was born Jan. 6, 1953, the son of Verne Michael and Ann Marie Renkovic-Voytko Presco.

Raised in the village of McDonald, where he met many of his lifelong friends, he attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help Grade School and was a 1971 graduate of McDonald High School. Ronnie attended Youngstown State University and later entered the tool and die apprentice program at Packard Electric, graduating in 1983. Ron worked in the toolroom for many years and was later elected the 717 union committeeman for the United Electrical Workers Association. In that role, Ron represented the skilled trade workers at Delphi Packard Electric Systems for 10 years. He retired from Delphi in 2006.

Throughout life, and especially after retirement, Ron enjoyed golfing and was a member of many leagues throughout the Mahoning Valley, including the 717 CU Golf League at the Mahoning Country Club. He enjoyed yearly ski trips to the Rockies with family and friends. Ron understood the importance of service and volunteered with many organizations, including the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to friends and family, offering his time, skills and support without hesitation.

Ronnie was a natural critical thinker and gifted problem solver, never afraid to learn a new skill. Whether tackling a simple math problem or taking on a full home renovation, he approached every project with passion, dedication and persistence. He possessed an electric personality, effortlessly forging enduring friendships and consistently discovering reasons to celebrate. He worked tirelessly to support his beloved wife and children, whom he greatly cherished.
