Surrounded by family, Ron's physical body left us on May 27, 2023 after a long battle with myelofibrosis. The third of four children, Ron was born to Robert and Wilma (Safran) Freeborough on April 21, 1943 in Munhall, PA.
Ron was the dedicated husband to Andrea Mariani whom he married on August 16, 1974. Philanthropists, Ron and Andrea gave to numerous charitable organizations and opened their home and hearts to Vietnamese Refugees, orphans and exchange students.
Ron enjoyed time with his family, watching his grandchildren's sporting events and hanging out with the many friends that he and Andrea had.
After his humble beginnings working in the family grocery business, then for Borden Foods, Inc., Ron began a 40-year successful career at Mariani & Richards, Inc., twenty-eight of which he served as president of the company. Through his hard work, long hours and dedication he grew the company into a well-respected masonry, restoration and water-proofing business whose work can be seen in and around the Pittsburgh area. Ron would like to thank all of the former and current employees for a job well-done.
