Ronald Galipeau, age 74, of Salem, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully on January 8, 2026. He was born in Lawrence, MA, and later made Salem his home.

Ron was a private man who lived life on his own terms. He found great joy in riding his Harley-Davidson, embracing the freedom of the open road. He had a deep appreciation for music, especially guitar, and photography was another passion through which he quietly expressed his creativity. Those who knew him well understood his thoughtful nature and his love for the simple things that brought him happiness.

Ronald shared 22 meaningful years with his longtime girlfriend, Linda Wyatt, who was an important part of his life.

He is survived by his sister, Sandy Pastor, and her husband Richard of Jaffrey, NH; his two nieces, Dawn Sides and husband Gary of Texas and Dina Zisis and her husband John of Pelham, NH. Ron will be remembered fondly by his family and those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Ron's independent spirit, his love of music and motorcycles, and the quiet way he lived his life will be with all who knew him forever.
