Ronald Edward Hussey
October 17, 2017
Memorial service will be at 4:00 PM, Sunday, October 22, 2017 at Tabernacle United Methodist Church, with the Reverend Mamie Alley and Reverend Donald Burns, Jr. officiating.
Born October 2, 1952 in Robbins, Ron attended North Moore High School and Appalachian State University.
He began working with MidSouth Airlines and had a long career in the airline industry retiring from American Airlines at Raleigh-Durham International Airport one year ago. A longtime resident of Apex and working at RDU many years, Ron never met a stranger and everyone has a story to share about talking to him when passing through the airport.
An avid runner, marathoner, animal lover, concert-goer and sports fan, his biggest cheers were for his daughter Lindsay Katherine, followed by the LA Dodgers.
Ron is preceded in death by his father Clarence E. Hussey and survived by his mother Edith W. Hussey; daughter Lindsay Katherine Hussey of Portland, Ore.; brother Randy C. Hussey (Claire) of Robbins; sister Lisa Brown (Kenneth) of Asheboro; many loving nieces and nephews and many close cousins, family friends and coworkers.
Memorials may be made to Greyhound Friends of North Carolina (greyhound friends.com ) or Moore Humane Society ( moorehumane.org ).
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 PM, Saturday, October 21, 2017 at Kennedy Funeral Home.
Kennedy Funeral Home is honored to serve the Hussey family.
