Born on June 26, 1953, and son of Violet Savage Pocius of Scranton and the late Lewis Pocius, Ronald graduated from Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, Pa., in 1971. He attended Penn State University, where he graduated with a B.S. in Forestry. Prior to his retirement, he served as the Vice President of Fulfillment at HarperCollins Publishers.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Nicolette Pocius of Boston, Ma.; his brother, Gerald Pocius of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Canada; Gerald’s child, Kasey Pocius; and many cousins, aunts, and uncles.
