Kevin
T. Ranck, 48, of Lititz, passed away on Thursday, February 19th
at Lancaster General Hospital.
He was the
husband of Cherre M. Stephenson Ranck, with whom he celebrated 25
years of marriage this past May 14th. Born in
Lancaster, Kevin was the son of the late Fred and Rosemary Werner
Ranck.
Kevin was the
president and owner of Lancaster Design and Art, working there for
many years prior to purchasing the business in 2001. Prior to this
he had worked for Eby Quality Printing in Soudersburg.
He was a 1978
graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School and a graduate of the
former York Academy of the Arts where he studied graphic art. He
was a fantastic artist, serving as a mentor and sharing his love
of art with his children and friends. He used his talents in many
ways, such as designing tshirts that were sold to benefit
Hurricane Katrina victims.
Kevin coached
and was the founder in 1995 of Warwick Little League Baseball. He
was a diehard NY Mets and Jets fan, an avid backyard wiffleball
and volleyball player. He loved the beach and loved to cook- a
true chef. Music was an important part of Kevin's life and he was
a big Led Zeppelin fan.
In addition to
his wife, he is survived by his son, Tim B. Ranck and his
daughter, Erika M. Ranck, both of Lititz; his sisters Lois Murse
of Millersville and Linda married to Gary Schmalhofer of
Lancaster; and by his brother, Pat married to Anne Ranck of
Quarryville.
