Ronald H. Pfeiffer, 68, of New London Township, died peacefully Friday, Feb. 13, at the Neighborhood Hospice in West Chester, with his devoted wife Pam and loving son Ronald Jr. by his side.

Ron was born and raised in Newington, Conn., the only son of the late Mildred and Harold Pfeiffer. Ron pursued an education in chemistry at Wagner College on Staten Island, N.Y., where he graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science degree.

Ron spent 22 years in the chemical industry.  At the young age of 40 his career path turned to law enforcement graduating valedictorian in the class of 1990 from the Municipal Police Training Academy. Ron also received the award for outstanding performance as class president.

Ron worked with both Kennett Square and the Oxford Police Departments along with the Drug Task Force.  After serving the community for 18 years, Sgt. Pfeiffer retired from the West Grove Police Department in 2008.

Ron was a member of the New London Lodge No. 545 Free and Accepted Masons.

Ron and Pam were married 34 years and members of the New London United Methodist Church where the family will hold a private funeral service. Their son, Ron Jr. and his wife Amanda live in Thorndale.

Ron will be sadly missed by many, including his favorite Aunt and Uncle from South Glastonbury, Conn. Janet and Lee Watson and family. Those who knew Ron will remember his subtle witticism.

Missing him already are Ron’s five fur babies, Ruger, Remington, Colt, Sig and Heidi.

Ron fought a valiant two-year battle due to complications from multiple myeloma. His pain has ended and he is now at peace.

At this time Pam and Ron Jr. would like to thank the many doctors, nurses and therapists who dedicated their time to Ron’s care.

In lieu of flowers consider sending a contribution in Ron’s memory to your favorite Pet Rescue or you can send a contribution to the New London United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 8050 West Grove, Pa. 19390.
