Ronald William Buzzeo, 84, of Henrico, Virginia passed away peacefully on March 27 surrounded by his family. Ron was born in New York and is survived by his beloved wife, Judith Ann Buzzeo of 62 years.

Ron attended St. John’s College of Pharmacy in New York, where he practiced pharmacy before entering state and federal service. His last position in federal service was Deputy Director, Drug Enforcement Administration. He also served as president and treasurer of an international organization, representing the United States at several international and UN sponsored forums. After over 20 years of government service he established his own consulting company, being a mentor and providing opportunities to many.

As some have said - Ron was kind, hard-working and fearless – but most of all he loved people. He didn’t care about race, creed, or politics, he just wanted to make life better for everyone.
