Ronald Frank Pinchott

After a short battle with bile duct of the liver cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), Ronald Pinchott passed away on December 12, 2022, at home, surrounded by family.

Ronald Frank Pinchott was born on October 26, 1956, to Frank & Rosemary (née Ahles) Pinchott, in Rockford, Illinois. Ron was raised in Roscoe, IL. He attended St. Peters Elementary School in South Beloit and graduated from Hononegah High School in Rockton, IL.

Ron attended Rock Valley Community College where he earned his Associates Degree. He then attended Eastern Illinois University and earned his B.A. degree in Accounting.

Ron married Catherine McCarty on August 4, 1978. They resided in Grafton, WI, until moving to Cedarburg, WI, in 1982.

Ron worked for various companies in Milwaukee and the surrounding communities. He worked for Fromm Laboratories, Aldrich Chemical, GE Healthcare in Occonomowoc, and US Bank in downtown Milwaukee.

Ron is survived by his wife of 44 years, Catherine(McCarty) Pinchott; sons, Dominic Pinchott (Emily Swanson of Portland Oregon) of Chicago and Joseph (Colleen Berg); and granddaughter, Cara Pinchott of Fayetteville, NC.

Ron is further survived by his in-laws, Ruth Ann & Richard Lowenthal (of Rockford, IL & San Bruno CA), Theresa & Jim Oster(Rockton, IL), Maureen McCarty & Doug Rogers (Loves Park, IL), Patty & Dean Erwin (Wentzville, MO), and Bob McCarty (Rockford, IL), as well as his 14 loving nieces and nephews, and 6 great nieces and nephews. Many of whom he was fortunate enough to entertain over the last few months, and who all contributed care and support.

Ron was actively involved in the events and organizations that his sons were members of as they were growing up. Some of the community may recall him assisting with Boy Scouts, recreational baseball, basketball, and soccer. In more recent years Ron assisted with the voting polls for the city of Cedarburg.

Ron loved spending time with his family and friends. Fishing, and boating were the passions he shared with family every weekend, and up North Wisconsin in the summer as often as possible. He loved being on his boat, or on B-dock, at McKinley Marina enjoying the wonderful community. As a lifelong Packer fan, he frequently brought the entire family to Lambeau Field on game day.

Ron is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Rosemary Pinchott of Roscoe, IL; his father-in-law, Harold (Mac) McCarty (Rockford, IL & Galveston,TX); and his brother-in-law, Tim McCarty(Rockford, IL & Glidden, WI).
