Obituary
Mount Horeb-Ronald "Ron" C. Tippett, age 70, passed away on Monday, September 17, 2018 at home surrounded by his family. Ron was born on September 17, 1948, in Woodbine, IL, the son of Cletus and Violet (Randecker) Tippett. He graduated from Warren High School in IL.
Ron married Katherine "Kay" (Moon) Stampfli on September 17, 1993 at Mt. Horeb ELC. They were able to spend their 25th anniversary together and celebrate one more birthday for Ron. He worked as a maintenance coordinator for Uniek Inc. in Waunakee and retired in 2014. He was a member of All Saints Lutheran Church in Fitchburg.
Ron loved to golf and cheer on his favorite college team, the Badgers, but Ron's greatest joy was spending time with his family and especially his grandchildren. You could often find Ron antiquing, admiring muscle cars or dancing with the love of his life, Kay.
