Ronald Zimmerman

Ronald Zimmerman

Ronald had a heart of gold and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Whether it was offering a listening ear, providing support, or simply being there for others, he made a lasting impact on all who knew him. Ron was known for his independent spirit and stubborn resolve. He fiercely fought to maintain his autonomy and refused to let any obstacle stand in his way. In his early twenties, Ronald was an avid athlete and played on a tennis team for people in wheelchairs. He found joy in leisure activities such as playing cards and online games with his friends. Ron was not much of a cook, but he could definitely order up a great meal at WaWa.

Ronald is survived by his parents Barry and Donna Zimmerman who loved Ron more than anything,and his siblings Wendy (Craig) Harkins, Denise (Monty) Miller, and Mark (Marni) Zimmerman. Along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will miss him dearly.

Come celebrate 62 great years at the Sell Chapel on Masonic Village in Elizabethtown, PA on Friday April 5th at 11am. Donations can be made to Shriner’s Children’s Hospital https://donate.lovetotherescue.org, an organization that Ronald’s Dad was passionate about and involved in with volunteering to transport families to doctors appointments in Philadelphia.

    I offer my condolences to the Zimmerman family and all of Ron’s friends.

    In the late 70s and early 80s, I lived in Alton Park about 4 short blocks from the Zimmermans. I recall, with great fondness, the time I spent with Ron and the Zimmerman family. During the 1970s, Ron and I were as “thick as thieves” and I routinely ate dinner at the Zimmermans.

    My life took me away from Allentown and I lost contact with Ron and his family. On occasion, I would return to Allentown and run across some of the family members, and I even saw Ron once at a kegger in Emmaus. That was the last time I saw him and that was about 10 years ago, maybe more.

    I had hoped that we would have talked over the last couple of years, but that didn’t happen. It’s OK..I’ll talk to him when I see him on the other side.

    Thank you God
