BY: Senator HINCHEY

 MOURNING the death of Ronald F. Lipton,
 distinguished citizen, devoted public servant, and
 cherished member of his community

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to pay tribute to
citizens of the State of New York whose lifework and civic endeavors
served to enhance the quality of life in their communities and this
great State; and

 WHEREAS, Ronald "Ron" F. Lipton, a respected community leader and
impassioned public servant, died on January 22, 2026, at the age of 85,
in Lexington, New York; and

 WHEREAS, Born in 1940 and raised in New York and Connecticut, Ron
Lipton lived a life defined by intellectual curiosity, a love of the
outdoors, and a deep and abiding commitment to civic engagement and
public service; and

 WHEREAS, Ron Lipton embodied the idea that it is insufficient to
only discuss the issues facing the world; rather, each person must also
actively work to change the world for the better, starting in their own
community; and

University during the late 1960s, Ron Lipton inspired his students to
grapple with the difficult questions and issues of their time; and

he was deeply committed to humanitarian service and global engagement

organization CARE in the early 1970s, and spending several years in Iran
advancing long-term development initiatives, strengthening rural
infrastructure, and establishing health education and nutrition centers;
and

 WHEREAS, Returning to the United States, Ron Lipton continued his
public service in California as an advisor to then-Governor Jerry Brown
during a pivotal era of environmental and economic reform, contributing
to forward-thinking initiatives including environmental conservation
efforts, renewable energy advancement, and programs supporting young
people and working families; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout his life, Ron Lipton remained steadfast in his
dedication to improving the lives of others, later contributing his
talents in Florida through the development of an innovative independent
school, management of a medical clinic serving economically
disadvantaged communities, and assistance to individuals navigating
Medicare; and

 WHEREAS, Upon relocating to Lexington, New York in 2006, what might
have been a period of retirement instead became a new chapter of active
community involvement, as he offered his time, skills, and insight to
neighbors, local businesses, and civic causes on the Mountain Top; and

 WHEREAS, He served with distinction as Co-Chair of the Lexington
Town Democratic Committee, and was an active member of Mountain Top
Progressives; Ron Lipton was a valued voice in local politics and a
tireless advocate for community participation and good governance; and

 WHEREAS, Known for his generosity, ingenuity, and knowledge of
government, Ron Lipton was a trusted friend and advisor who assisted
others in cutting through red tape and navigating complex regulatory
systems; and

 WHEREAS, His ideas also had a statewide impact; he advocated for
stronger ratepayer protections to truly hold utilities accountable to
the public, inspiring legislation designed to benefit everyd
