Ronald E. “Pop” Hughes, Sr., 82, of Wind Gap, died Friday, November 4, 2022 in ProMedica, Easton. Born January 23, 1940 in Old Forge, he was the son of the late Evan and Mabel (Carey) Hughes. He and his wife, Carol A. (Lutes) Hughes were married 57 years. Pop served in the Army during the Korean War and was a self-employed general contractor in the Lehigh Valley. He founded the H. & S. Construction softball team and was the coach for over 30 years. Pop was the epitome of what a family man should be. His happiest moments were spent with his wife, children, grandchildren, and extended family. His grandchildren were his world, he never missed a function involving them and was always there to show his love and support. His face would light up every time he talked about them. He was “pop” to many and will be deeply missed by those who were lucky enough to meet him.
Surviving with his wife, Carol, are two sons, Ronald E. Hughes, Jr. and his wife, Kitti-Jo and Scott A. Hughes and his wife, Jenn; a daughter, Yvonne P. Beers and her husband, Christopher; eight grandchildren, Jared, Jessica, Kelsey, Alyson, Abygayle, Madysen, Emalie, and Sara; three great grandchildren, Kensleigh, Eliana, and Theodore; a great grandson Owen on the way; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death along with his parents by his five brothers, William, George, Teddy, Jack, and Bob and two sisters, Betty and Dorothy.
Services will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, November 9, 2022 in the Ashton Funeral Home, 1337 Northampton St., Easton. A visitation will be held from 5:00 to 6:00 pm on Wednesday in the funeral home. Offer online condolences at www.AshtonFuneralHome.com.
