Ron Moscicki departed his life on November 16, 2024. Born to Stanley and Justine Moscicki on July 14, 1948, in Batavia, NY, Ron was a remarkable leader who walked point on every tour of duty. His commitment to excellence in his life and work impacted the lives of everyone he met.
He began that influence early. Upon graduating from Batavia High School in 1966, Ron enlisted in the United States Army, 101st Airborne Ranger Division and served two tours of duty in Vietnam. He was awarded the Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, Air Medal Army Commendation Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, Vietnam Service Medal, and National Defense Service Medal.
After his return from Vietnam, Moscicki began his career as a correction officer at Attica Correctional Facility in 1972. His leadership skills had him working his way up through the supervisory ranks where he commanded the Corrections Emergency Response Team (CERT).
His leadership of the CERT Team gained him the respect of Commissioner Thomas A. Coughlin, III, who appointed him as Captain to head the new corrections initiative, Shock Incarceration, at Monterey SICF in 1987. He served on the task force that designed Shock Incarceration and directed the first training program for staff. He was promoted to Superintendent at Lakeview Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility in August of 1989 and received the Governor's Management Confidential Special Achievement Award in1990. It was Moscicki’s commitment, discipline, and leadership that helped Shock gain its well-deserved reputation as The Best in the Business.
As Supervising Superintendent, he was responsible for the supervision of the largest hub in the department, ensuring consistency of operations and administration of eleven correctional facilities. Ron served corrections for the State of New York for 44 years, 24 years as Superintendent and Supervising Superintendent, retiring in 2012.
Ron was blessed to have not one beautiful wife that loved him, but two. On May 1, 1971, he married Victoria Calarco and was happily married for 44 years until her passing in 2015. A year later, he married Hilda Echevarria on August 27, 2016. Ron and Hilda were happily married for 7 years until her passing in 2023.
Ron is survived by his two children, Ronald Jr. (Brittany) and Michelle Mager (Justin) of Batavia, and stepdaughter Seryna Ancelet of Dunkirk and three wonderful grandchildren. He enjoyed spoiling his granddaughter Addison with anything she wanted and chauffeuring her around town in his Mercedes, and spending quality time with his grandson Clark, taking him to lunch. He also enjoyed playing and wrestling with his grandson Hudson. He was known as Grampy and will be deeply missed by these three kids. He is also survived by two brothers Daniel Moscicki (Linda), David Moscicki (Brenda), and a sister Kim Casilio (David) and predeceased by a brother Gregory Moscicki (Joanne).
Ron enjoyed cruising around in his Mercedes, vacationing, and sharing his life stories, mainly war stories with family and friends. He was always best dressed no matter the occasion.
Family and friends are cordially invited to his Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday (Nov. 23rd), 9:30am at Resurrection Parish, 303 East Main Street, Batavia, NY. Interment and military honors will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.
