Ronald Riffle

August 22, 1940 — December 3, 2019

Ronald Lee Riffle, age 79, died peacefully at home among his family and friends. He was a West Virginian at heart and born to Rettie Dorcus and Wilson Riffle. He shared a beautiful life with Cindy Riffle, his wife of forty years, his children and grandchildren. Riffle proudly served in the United States Air Force. Riffle retired from the State of Ohio Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, and formally worked at White Westing House prior to their closing. He was preceded in death by his mother, brothers (Roy, Eugene, Bill, Ed, and Chuck), and sister (Eva Jane). He is survived by wife, sister (Clara), son (Ronnie, Joseph - spouse to Heidi), daughters (Ronda, Heidi, and Kathy), grandchildren (Ronnie, Ryan, Randall, Roger, Miya, Leah, and Henry) and countless nieces and nephews. Riffle unconditional loved, raised, and impacted the lives of many. Some of his most memorable and prideful moments were Ronda’s college graduation, Heidi and Earl enlisting in the military, Mikey’s many football games, teaching Jen pool, Jonathan’s first words, watching Kasey take her first steps, giving Natalie away, Nate becoming sheriff, Nicholas’ college graduation, Cara growing into a beautiful mother and Savannah aka George growing to be independent and successful.  Riffle shared a special relationship with Ronda Mozzetti filled with constant laughter. Riffle was a courageous, strong, quick witted man who was always there with a joke, advice, or unconditional love.
