It’s with a heavy heart and great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our own. Ron “RD” Dallago conducted his final sweep on December 23, 2024. RD joined the Blue Mountain Ski Patrol in 1990 and over the years served in many roles. There are very few patrollers in the Eastern PA Region and Eastern Division of the National Ski Patrol system and even fewer at Blue Mountain Resort that he hasn’t helped in some way. He will be greatly missed by many!

Ron, 76, of Northampton, PA, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 23, 2024, at Lehigh Valley Hospital Inpatient Hospice Care in Allentown, PA. Born September 18, 1948, in Allentown, PA, he was the son of the late Norman Dallago and the late Isabelle (Matuskowitz) Dallago.

Ronald was the Owner/Operator of Insulation Service Professionals (ISP) in Northampton, PA for over 30 years before retiring. He enjoyed skiing and was a member of the National Ski Patrol, serving at Blue Mountain Ski Resort, Palmerton, PA, and Spring Mountain Ski Resort, Schwenksville, PA. for years. Ron was also a member of the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America).

He enjoyed the game of golf and was coordinator of two Senior Golf Leagues, Tuesdays and Thursdays at Twin Lakes Golf Club, Allentown, PA. for the past several years. He was a member of the Raccoon Club, in Northampton, PA. An avid sportsman, he participated in and coached wrestling at Parkland High School and was an East Penn Fast Pitch Softball league member for many years, most memorably on the Duke’s Pub team.

Ron is survived by his daughter, Dora M. Zion, wife of Richard Zion of Palm Coast, FL; sister, Michelle D. Mackowiak of Whitehall, PA; Niece, Nicole R. Gutierrez; and great-nephews, Donovan and Landon. He was predeceased by his sister, Barbara J. Dallago Vera in 2019.
