Byron Edgerton, Jr.
1942 - April 09, 2023
Byron “Ron” Edgerton dies after a courageous battle with ….. life. He fought that battle well and won many campaigns.
He didn’t go anywhere to be with anyone. He just died. Got that?!? He died.
Ron liked soil planes, dogs, motorcycles, dogs, and sailboats.
Ron was the brother of Tim Edgerton, grandfather to Dustin Hodges of Normal, Illinois, and Kendra Edgerton of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
He will be missed by insurance agents, waitresses, bartenders, and his dog. He will miss his friends and neighbors, particularly those in his flying club and the Finkel family.
Ron taught ESL in Adult Education for Lancaster- Lebanon IU13 for 26 years. Prior to that, he helped shaped the retail record industry by working for a National retail chair for 18 years in the Mid-Western states.
Ron is survived by a sister in Alton, Missouri.

Bill here. I worked with Ron at Ephrata High School for several years when he taught ESL to many Ukrainians immigrant. I also went on many motorcycle rides with Ron over the years. I went to Morgantown Airport on a regular basis for 15 years when Ron was flying his glider. I used to take pictures for all of the glider pilots. We all knew Ron was slowly slipping away, but he enjoyed confounding his doctors by refusing to die when they insisted his time was up! Good bye Ron, I and the gang of your friends miss you, but our stories of your exploits will keep you in our memories for quite a few years yet. See you around Buddy!

I was one of Ron’s motorcyle riders. He was my friend for many years and he always impressed me with his intellect and his sense of humor. I will never forget those xmas parties he gave at his home and all his glider stories he shared with his friends
