Celebrating the Life of Ron Luich

It is with heavy hearts that we share news of the passing of Ron Luich. He was the current chair of Avalonia’s Western Town Committee and a Director-at-Large.

Since 2016, Ron has been an important member of Avalonia’s team. He worked closely with us in anticipation of our merger with the East Lyme Land Trust and at the Annual Members Meeting in June 2018, he was elected to Avalonia’s Board of Directors.

He served as Governance Chair starting in 2019 and was Secretary of the Avalonia Board of Directors in 2020 and 2021.

Ron has been a member of Avalonia since 2018 and became a life member in January 2020.

A celebration of his life was held this past Sunday, October 29th at the Shennecossett Yacht Club in Groton, CT. You can read his obituary here. 

Ron contributed a great deal to Avalonia and he will be sorely missed.
