Ronal E. Gamble, age 71, of Herkimer, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning July 9, 2019 in Foltsbrook Nursing and Rehabilitation Center after a long illness. He was born on September 5, 1947, in Little Falls, son of the late Edward and Bertha Collins Gamble. A lifelong area resident he was raised and started his education in Dolgeville. In 1960 he moved to Herkimer where he finished his education in Herkimer Central Schools. On October 3, 1987 he was united in marriage to the former Marguerite (Marge) Piazza in Saint Mary's RC Church, Frankfort, officiated by Reverend Alfred Lamana. For many years Ron held various jobs, including Hale Manufacturing, Price Choppers Grocery Store and later for the Walmart Store in Herkimer. He retired in 2009. Mr. Gamble had a strong belief in God and was a faithful member of the New Life Church in Herkimer. After his retirement he did volunteer work for Catholic Charities in Ilion as a transport operator and served on their board of directors. All who knew Ron will never forget that he was a kind, gentle and giving man. In his leisure time, you were sure to find him enjoying a cup coffee at Dunkin Donuts. He was happiest when he was with his friends and family especially his cherished daughters. He will be sadly missed. Surviving are his loving and devoted wife of thirty-one years, Marge, two daughters Marybeth Paulick and her husband Michael of Avon, Rosemarie Gamble and her fiancé Garrick Etienne of Mohawk, one sister, Jean Stearns of Caroga Lake and Johnstown; sister-in-law Mary Lou (Piazza) Laramee and her husband Moe of Pickering, Ontario and extended family members including several nieces and nephews.
