Ronald B. Coyle, 91, of Moore Twp., passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at Complete Care at Lehigh Center in Macungie. He was the beloved husband of the late Esther Coyle to whom he was married to for 69 years before her passing in 2022. Born in Moore Township, Ronald was a son of the late Martin and Ruth Coyle (Getz).
He proudly served his country as a member of the United States Marine Corps. Ronald's work ethic was evident from a young age. He began his working years at the Bill Schlegel Farm and later served in Central Control at Essroc, where he dedicated many years of service. In his later years, he took great pride in his role as a Grounds Keeper at the Moore Township Recreation Center.
Beyond his professional life, Ronald was known for his warm spirit and love for the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, relishing the peace these activities brought him. A simple walk in the neighborhood was not just exercise for him; it was an opportunity to connect with friends and neighbors. His creativity was evident in his woodworking and his cherished leather shop, where he crafted items that showcased his skill and artistry. He was a proud member of the Moore Township Lions Club, where he supported various community initiatives and service projects.
