I had the great honor of calling Ron my friend. We played in a band together & shared many fun nights rehearsing and performing. We often sat in his car late at night talking music, life, anything! Looking back on those years brings me only happiness now. Wonderful memories which I shall treasure for all my days. Love to Kimberly and Ronnie.

Only just learned of Ron's passing (2021). We were classmates in Podiatry school and he was always a standup guy.

To the Branca Family:
First, I would like to express my greatest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Branca.
I was lucky enough to have had Mr. Branca as my biology teacher for two years (9th and 11th grade). He was such a great teacher because he was always so excited to teach, which, I believe, made his students excited to learn. It seems so surreal when I look in my yearbook and read what he wrote. It's only been a year since I graduated, and it seems like such a short time has passed since he taught me, and I still can't believe it. He will truly be missed by all who knew him.
Again, I would like to express my deepest sympathies. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

We share a beautiful daughter and now a beautiful grandson and through them Ron will live on. Wish we could be there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Branca, Kimberly, Little Ronnie, and the whole family;
We are at a loss for words at this time, but please know that our thoughts and especially our prayers are with you and your family at this time. Ron and I shared so many wonderful musical times together, and I have only fond memories of those days. He was a true friend and I will miss him. Please find comfort in knowing that Ron brought so much joy to so many lives, and I am honored to have known him and to have played music by his side. We will be having a Mass offered for all of you.
