A lifelong resident, he was a 1948 graduate of Ludlow High School. Ron proudly served his country as a Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War. A pioneer of the television industry, Ron began his career in 1955 with WHYN- TV 40 where he produced/directed the Barbara Bernard Show. He received four United Press Intl.

He was promoted to Director of Public Relations for the station in 1979. Ron retired from TV-22 in 1990 after 35 years. He then worked for 19 years as a funeral service assistant, first at the Ratell Funeral Home and then at the Kapinos-Mazur Funeral Home.
Ron was an avid photographer and world traveler. He was active in the Ad. Club of Springfield, Kiwanis and Exchange Clubs. Ron was a devout communicant of St. Elizabeth’s Parish in Ludlow.

Ron also leaves his beloved grandchildren Derek, Meghan, Shannon and Alicia, his great-grandson Caleb and his four-legged friends Max and Ellie.
So sorry to hear of Ron's passing. He was the director of The TV-40 Dance Party, of which I was a co-host. I loved his professionalism and perfection. He was the best in the business... and such a nice, all around guy! He will always be remembered! My deepest sympathy to his dear family.
Dad, Will miss our Saturdays dunkin coffee and donuts. Thank you for all you've done for us and your love...."Sunrise, Sunset, swiftly flow the days..."
My condolences to you and your family.
Danielle with heartfelt sympathy to you and your Family. Your Dad is at peace now. Memories are great to remember and cherish them with your Family.
Mark , to you and your family my deepest sympathy’s on the passing of your dad. God Bless
Paula- I am so sorry for your loss. I know Ron meant a great deal to you! Hang in there as best you can. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Ron's family.
Marie and Danielle and family, so very sorry for your loss, bless you all with strength and peace at this time.
For all the years I did the WHYN/TV 40 daily live show, THE BARBARA BERNARD SHOW, Ronnie Langevin was my director. His perfectionism brought me awards and high ratings and in all the years there was never a quarrel or harsh word between us. He was a gentleman with a delightful sense of humor and he survived some difficult times thanks to Paula and his children, all of whom he loved so dearly. Just a short time ago Ronnie and Paula were at my 90th birthday party where others with whom he worked at Channel 40 were so happy to connect up with him. I had a chance to once again tell him what I told him continuously that HE WAS THE BEST.
My love forever.
