Ronald C. Lippincott, Lewes Ph.D

Ron Lippincott, 65, died suddenly Saturday, July 7, 2012, at his home at the Retreat at Love Creek near Lewes.

Ron was born May 25, 1947. He attended Rutgers University for his undergraduate studies and later received his Ph.D in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He worked for the governor of New Jersey before beginning his teaching career, most of which was spent at the University of Baltimore, where he specialized in healthcare and organizational management. Later, Ron worked for the Maryland Department of Budget and Management, Office of Capital Budgeting as a budget analyst, retiring in 2009.

Ron is survived by his life partner, Christine Eggert; his mother, Jane Rulon of New Jersey; his half brother, Donald Rulon and his half sister, Joan Johnson, also of New Jersey.

Ron was a loving and caring partner to Christine. He was a passionate reader about foreign affairs, domestic politics and detective novels. He was continually amazed, about what he learned through his constant reading, be it science, mathematics, politics, sociology or simply what he observed in the world.

Ron also enjoyed the simplicity and love of his loyal dog, Dickens and his zany cat, Oliver.
