Cape Coral, FL

Ronald Eugene "Ron" Charity, 81, of Cape Coral, Florida, went to his heavenly home at 9:55 a.m. Thursday, April 20, 2023.

Ron was born Sept. 28, 1941, in Sandusky, to Raymond and Virginia Charity of Milan. He had one sibling, his younger brother, Robert (Bob) Charity.

Ron was a gifted athlete and lettered in football, basketball, and baseball while attending Milan High School. He graduated from Milan High School in 1959 and then went on to serve our country and enlisted in U.S. Navy that same year, where he was trained as a quartermaster.

While stationed in New York City, he met the love of his life, Joann Charity, in 1961. They married Sept. 1, 1962. After his service in the Navy, Ron and Joann moved to Norwalk shortly after getting married.

Ron and Joann had four children, Christine, Ronald, Brian, and Wendy. Ron was a loving father who enjoyed spending time with his children and he coached baseball for many years in the Lefty Grove Little League in Norwalk.

While in Ohio, Ron worked a few different types of jobs until he fell into his niche in the wholesale plumbing business, where he excelled. For most of his career, he was the top salesman for the different companies he worked for.

In 1981, they moved their family from Norwalk to Fort Myers, Florida, where he continued his success in the wholesale plumbing business. After a couple of years in Fort Myers, they moved to Cape Coral, Florida, where he lived the rest of his life.

When not working, he loved church and his bible studies. Ron loved people and his joyful, infectious personality led him to serve as a greeter at Grace Church in Cape Coral. There, he spread his love for Jesus with many people each week. Ron was a loyal servant of God for over 50 years. He loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and it showed in the way he lived his life and the countless lives he touched.

He enjoyed playing golf, traveling, and watching Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavaliers, and Florida Gators.

Ron was reunited with his parents, Ray and Virginia, in Heaven.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joann Charity; four children, Christine (Scott) Hamlin, Ronald (Kimberly) Charity, Brian (Holly) Charity, and Wendy Charity; beloved brother, Robert (Carol) Charity, and their children, Kathy, Cindy, Vicky, and Becky.

He was blessed with 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
