Ronald A. Samson
January 8, 1941 — March 1, 2024
Ronald A. Samson, age 83, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away March 1, 2024, at The Toledo Hospital. He was born January 8, 1941, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Charles and Katherine (Jewell) Samson.
Ronald graduated from Macomber High School. He proudly served as a medic in the United States Army National Guard. Ronald was a very hard and dedicated worker; he worked at Libbey Glass, Dana Corp., A.D.T, and University of Toledo, where he then retired.
He was an active member of Collingwood United Methodist Church. Ronald enjoyed being outdoors; whether it was feeding the birds and the squirrels or going up North to camp in The Huron National Forest. Family was most important to him, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His love, smile, and treats for the great-grandchildren will forever be missed!
Those left to forever cherish his memory are his loving daughters, Laura (Tony) Galati and Jennifer (Ronald) Welsh-Doore; grandchildren, Joshua (Jessica) Galati, Jacob (Maria) Galati, Bethany (Kyle) Kapps, Joseph Galati, Jeremiah Galati, Jonah Galati, Jared Welsh, Erica Doore, and Hannah Doore; great grandchildren, Gabriella, Gabriel, Annie and Cubby; brother, Charles "Chuck" Samson; many nieces and nephews; and a close family friend, Jim Welsh.
In addition to his parents, Ronald was preceded in death by his wife, Bette (Jones) Samson; and grandson, Jordan Welsh.
There will be a private family service held at Woodlawn Cemetery, where Ronald will be laid to rest next to Bette. A memorial will be held in the summer to honor and celebrate his life.
