Ronald Pydynkowski

Ronald Pydynkowski, 74, of Essex, passed away Thursday, February 1, at home surrounded by loved ones. He was the beloved husband of Robin (Reagan) Pydynkowski with whom he shared 45 years of marriage.
Ron chose his own path and lived it. Nature was where he found his religion. The outdoors was his cathedral - whether hunting, climbing trees, in the garden or out at sea. Strong and compassionate, he cared deeply and did much for many - be it in the work field, in the forest or simply in life.
Ron was a hard-working intellectual who could do anything he set his mind to. From being master of the kitchen and grill to rebuilding a truck, he could do it all. Initially seeking a career in engineering at Tufts, his work at golf courses (his swing was awesome) and tree work brought about a degree in arboriculture after which Ron began and ran a very successful tree, landscape and masonry business, Cape Ann Tree, for 35 years while shepherding many onto their chosen paths.
A most remarkable man.
Ron is survived by his wife Robin, his sister LuAnne P. Ricci and her husband Kevin Ricci, his four brothers James Kyle Tucker and his wife Cynthia, William Kevin Tucker, Robert Kurt Tucker and Kerry Lee Tucker and his wife Catherine Bradford and his dearly loved nephew and nieces, Eric Tucker, Abigail Tucker, Audrey Tucker, Cordelia Reagan, Gwedolyn Reagan, Emily Tucker, Bridget Tucker, Metis Tucker and Thalia Tucker. Ron was predeceased by his beloved parents William Keith and Jeannine (Conley) Tucker and Amy Tucker, Kurt's much loved wife.
A celebration of Ron's life will be held on Friday, June 21 from 3:00-7:00p.m. in Essex, at his home. Charitable contributions can be made to Tunnel to Towers, the Salvation Army or the National Park Services. Arrangements by Campbell Funeral Home, 525 Cabot St., Beverly.
