Ronald Lee Fratini, 72, of Fredericksburg, passed away at home on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

Ronald was the son of Louis and Mae (Hartman) Fratini and was born in Lebanon, PA, on December 17, 1952.  He enjoyed spending time in nature; walking, hiking, and bird watching. Perhaps it was his love of nature that gave him such a green thumb, as he was always growing and tending to his enormous plant collection. Ronald also enjoyed collecting antiques, listening to music, and spending time with his dogs. He was mischievous, fun-loving, and tenacious. His big heart matched his huge smile, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand.  Ronald's playful spirit led to many adventures in life, including driving across the country and temporarily living in California. He also had a renowned sweet tooth and coincidentally spent most of his career working in manufacturing at the former Hershey Chocolate Plant.

Ronald is survived by his loving family and friends and his beloved dog, Max. Funeral services will be at the family's convenience. Thompson Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements. Please share your memories with the family at our online guest book at thompsonfuneralhomelebanon.com
