C. Ronald Wallace

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:25:17

C. Ronald (Ron) Wallace passed away peacefully on October 16, 2025, surrounded by his loving wife and family, after courageously fighting his battle with cancer for over two years.

Ron was born in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and spent his early years in Europe, including Germany, following his father’s military career. His parents, Charles and Doris Wallace, eventually settled in York, Pennsylvania, where Ron attended high school before earning his B.S. in Accounting and an MBA in Finance from Temple University.

During his college years, Ron met the love of his life, Tricia, and the two married shortly after graduation. Their honeymoon in Bermuda sparked a passion for travel that they shared throughout their marriage. Ron adored Tricia deeply—she was his partner, his rock, his best friend. Together, they built a life full of joy, adventures, and a love that lasted for decades.

Ron was a lifelong resident of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and summered in Ocean City, New Jersey, where he and Tricia raised three beautiful daughters; Jessica, Brittany and Courtney. He was an incredible “girl dad,” always their biggest supporter and proudest fan. He often said that of all his accomplishments, none compared to the privilege of raising his daughters.

A talented and dedicated professional, Ron worked as a CPA and auditor before becoming a partner at a New York accounting firm. He later transitioned into banking, where he retired as a Senior Vice President specializing in commercial lending. Ron worked tirelessly throughout his career, making countless sacrifices to give his family the greatest gift he could—experiencing the world together.

Travel became their shared passion and his proudest legacy. In his final days, as the family reminisced about their adventures, Ron fondly recalled unforgettable trips to Thailand, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and Fiji, along with many cherished visits to Disney World, Europe, and the Caribbean. Above all, Maui, Hawaii, held a special place in his heart—where he delighted in Macadamia Nut Pancakes and found peace watching the sunrise over the ocean.

To know Ron was to know his generous spirit, joyful heart, and unmistakable sense of humor. He was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation and still manage to make you smile through life’s hardest moments, including in his final days.

He was a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan who took great pride in witnessing not one, but two Super Bowl victories in his lifetime—and he left this earth while they were reigning champions.

Ron had a deep love for music, and his daughters will always cherish memories of blasting songs in the car and singing together at the top of their lungs. He enjoyed deep-sea fishing excursions during the many cruises he took around the world with his wife.

While Ron didn’t want to leave his beloved wife and daughters, his deep and abiding faith gave him comfort. A lifelong Catholic and devoted member of St. Bede the Venerable Church, he faced the end of his journey with grace and peace, ready to rest in the Lord’s Kingdom.

C. Ronald Wallace is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia Wallace; his three cherished daughters, Jessica and husband, Mitch, of London, England; Brittany and husband, Harrison, of Raleigh, North Carolina; and Courtney and husband, Matthew, of Charlotte, North Carolina. He was a proud grandfather to Rhone, Ciella, Riley, and Carter. Ron is also survived by his beloved sisters, Connie and Donna, and was predeceased by his sister, Sharan, as well as his parents. Our family feels the void of his absence, and he will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

Relatives and friends are invited on Sunday, November 16, 2025, from 6pm to 7:30pm for Ron's evening visitation at Faust Funeral Home Inc. 902 Bellevue Ave. Hulmeville, PA 19047 and on Monday, November 17, 2025, from 10am to 11am at St. Bede the Venerable Church

Janet Ruth (Greene) Di Minico, of Penndel, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was 79 years old. Born in Trenton, New Jersey on May 12, 1946, Janet was the beloved daughter of the late Robert and Irene (Koch) Greene. She was a proud graduate of Pius X High School in Roseto, PA, Class of 1964. Janet was married to the love of her life, the late Joseph Di Minico, for 33 wonderful years until his passing in 1999. Together, they built a family rooted in love, laughter, and faith. She is survived by her devoted children, Mindy Spadaccino and her husband Steven, and Joseph “Butch” Di Minico and his husband Rodney Carroll. Janet was the cherished grandmother of Steven Spadaccino Jr., Karsyn Chilutti and her husband Joseph, and Darcy Parkyn and her husband Tyler; and the adoring great-grandmother of Siena Chilutti and Aria Parkyn. She is also survived by her loving siblings Robert Greene, Thomas Greene, and Debra Krogulski, and was preceded in death by her sister, Patricia “PJ” Briar. Janet was a devout Catholic and a faithful member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church. Her faith guided every part of her life and was a constant source of strength and comfort, especially through her daily rosaries, which she offered faithfully for those she loved. Fittingly, Janet passed peacefully on the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary, a day honoring the Blessed Mother to whom she held deep devotion. She lived independently for the last 26 years of her life, demonstrating remarkable strength and grace. A talented and accomplished seamstress, Janet had a gift for creating beauty from the simplest things. Whether sewing clothes for her family or crafting something wonderful out of nothing, her hands and heart were always making life more special. Her craftsmanship and creativity were matched only by her generosity and warmth. Janet’s greatest joy was her family. She adored her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even her beloved “grand puppies.” She was immensely proud of all their accomplishments and was there for every moment, big or small, with devoted love and thoughtfulness. Her happiness was rooted in the well-being of those she loved, and she made each day feel special simply by being there. She put others before herself, not out of obligation, but because caring was second nature to her. Even when told to rest or not to fuss, she would quietly do the opposite, always finding one more way to help, to give, or to show love. Janet will be remembered for her selfless spirit, kindness, devotion, and unwavering love for her family. She had a talent for making others feel special, often through her thoughtful surprises and perfectly chosen gifts, given just because she was thinking of you. Alongside her generous heart was a sharp, playful sense of humor that kept everyone laughing and brought lightness to even the most ordinary days. Her legacy of compassion and faith will live on in all who knew her. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Queen of the Universe Catholic Church 2443 Trenton Road, Levittown, PA 19056 on Thursday, October 16 where friends will be received starting at 5:00 PM followed by Mass at 6:00 PM. Following the service, all are invited to join the family for a dinner and celebration of Janet’s life. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Janet’s name to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. http://www.stjude.org

Daniel Lewis Barshinger

Daniel "Grizz" Barshinger, 30, of Langhorne, PA (formerly of Myerstown), died Friday, August 29, 2025 when his life was tragically cut short while riding his beloved motorcycle.

He is preceded in death by his grandfather's, Randall Walmer and Gary Gammell. He is survived by his parents Ron and Christine (nee Gammell), his brother Josh (Heather), his nieces and nephews, his grandmother's, Judy Gammell and Sandy Walmer, many aunts, uncles, cousins, his girlfriend Jessica Pullins, and their fur baby, Rambo.

Dan achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in 2012 and was a proud member of the Order of the Arrow, Wunita Gokhos Lodge 39. He attended the local vocational tech school to explore his love of carpentry and working with his hands. From there, he worked his way up in the world of construction, most recently as a master carpenter for Acts Retirement Communities, learning everything he could from those around him. As an active member of the Northwestern Berk Rod and Gun Club, he enjoyed teaching the next generation of enthusiasts at the annual Youth Shoot. He enjoyed hunting with family, attending events at the Sweet Arrow Rod and Gun Club with his parents, going to the NASCAR race each summer in the Poconos, ripping around on four-wheelers at mud pits in Maine, and just spending time with loved ones, whether it was indoors or out.

In the words of people who knew him, Dan was not just the life of the party but the party itself. He was always down to hang out and have a fun time, like coming in second in a Dad-bod contest at the Raven after being scouted by the owner during his Shania Twain routine. But that zest for life never stopped him from giving someone the shirt off his back if they needed it. He was always ready to volunteer to help in any way he could. Dan lived his life true to who he was at his core, not caring what anyone thought of his decisions. He had a way of making anyone he talked to feel important, like they were the only people in the room. Dan made friends everywhere he went, from his favorite aisle at Home Depot (the Milwaukee one) to mud pits, to hanging out at the bar, to the dog park with Rambo. He may have been a big, burly construction worker, but he had the most gentle demeanor, making everyone feel safe unless UNO No Mercy was involved. Dan's memory will live on in the countless lives he touched, the laughter he shared, and the life he gave. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A celebration of Dan's life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be sent to the National Motorcycle Safety Fund.

Calvin L. Rock

Calvin Lewis Rock, 75, of Bensalem, Pennsylvania, died on August 22, 2025 at home with his family. He fought off prostate cancer in 2019, but it aggressively returned in 2025 with bone metastasis that was incurable and eventually took his life. A celebration of life service will take place in his birthplace of St. Clair, Michigan in the near future. Date and location to be announced. Born and raised in St. Clair, Michigan, he attended St. Clair High School and graduated in the Class of 1969. He worked at the Diamond Crystal Salt Plant (later Akzo) for many years and afterwards with Mark Aluminum Siding. He was a true laborer and had a strong work ethic. He loved to work with his hands in all types of trades. Always a tireless worker, he was determined to do a good job. There was always a project he was working on. He built a second story on his St. Clair home, built his dream pole barn, had endless home improvement plans and brought all of his wife's imaginative, crafty ideas to life. Throughout his life, he enjoyed playing tennis (which also carried down to both of his kids and grandson), volleyball with friends, and later in life, fishing with his son and grandson and bird-watching and gardening with his wife. His legacy is kindness, perfected dry humor and genuine love for his family. He was best friends with his wife and loved her more and more as the years passed. They celebrated 52 years of marriage with a recent dream trip to Alaska together. He was fiercely protective of his family and taught both of his kids to do the right thing but also value and stand up for ourselves when life gets tough. We hope to always continue to make him proud. Calvin is survived by his wife Julie Rock (Hudolin), his son Ben Rock (Kim, wife, Ethan grandson, Lila, granddaughter) and his daughter Sarah Freeman (Rock) David, husband). He is also survived by his five siblings Ervin, Steve, Dan (Brenda, wife), Judy (Mark, husband) and David (Angie, wife). If you would like to make a donation to honor Dad’s memory, Mom thought that St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital would be a perfect way to extend your gratitude since Dad was so joyful in the presence of children. Here is the link https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?px=8908371&fr_id=154020&pg=personal He was a great man and we all miss him terribly. Thank you for being a part of Calvin’s life, sharing happy times, being a friend, caring about his welfare and bringing meaning to all of our lives.
