Ronald C. Tolley Jr. age 58 years old, of Raritan Township, Flemington, NJ, died suddenly, on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in Hillsborough Township, NJ where he worked.
Born in Raritan Township, NJ, on September 3, 1966, he was the son of Frances (Muehlbauer) Tolley and the late Ronald C. Tolley of Raritan Township, NJ. He was a lifelong resident of the Flemington area.
Ron was a graduate of Hunterdon Central Regional High School, Class of 1984, and continued his education at Somerset Vocational-Technical Institute, Bridgewater, NJ. He went on to acquire multiple certifications in diesel technology, automotive technology, as well as, HVAC and universal refrigerate certifications.
Ron was the Equipment and Facilities Repair Technician for twenty-five years at Royce Brook Golf Club in Hillsborough, NJ. Prior to his tenure at Royce Brook, Ron worked for eight years at Storr Tractor Company in Branchburg, NJ . Everyone that knew Ron remarked on his ability to “fix anything” – including every mechanical system in a commercial building such as HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, kitchen appliance repair and fire prevention.
Ron had a wonderful sense of humor and would tell stories with a twist, just to get a laugh or make you smile. He was a true “Movie Buff”. He had a love of animals and wildlife. He was a meticulous craftsman who renovated his entire home. Ron doted on his family helping each of them with various projects around their homes. He loved to discuss current events in his downtime and he was also a member of the Flemington Presbyterian Church.
In addition to his mother, Frances Tolley, he is survived by his two sisters: Janet Tolley and her husband Michael Fasano, of Readington Township, NJ, and Donna Tolley and her husband John Mayersky, of Flemington, NJ; as well as two nephews, Michael Fasano of Clinton, and Thomas Fasano of Lake Meade, PA, and faithful dog companion, Buddy. Ron was predeceased by his father in 2016.
