Not sure what to say?

Our deepest condolences and prayers to the entire Ragnelli family during this difficult time.

What can be said that hasn’t been said already! You guys nailed it!
Rome was an Incredible person all the way through!!

Rome and Marilyn, “Mom” as we all called her, had welcomed a bunch of us into their home and lives as teenagers in the early 80’s.

Their example of what kindness and friendship means has touched me and so many others and lives on forever in anyone who was fortunate enough to have met them.
My deepest sympathy to the entire family and thank you...

Vicki, Dina, and rest of the Ragnelli family, I offer my condolences. Your obituary described Rome so beautifully. He truly was everything mentioned. My late husband Harry and I were honored to consider him a friend. We lived at Millbrook Chase since 2004 and he was truly like the Mayor of Millbrook Chase! Beverly Wohlbach.

Rome was one of the kindest men I have ever met. Always cheerful, I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. He was just an all round great guy. Vicki and Dina I am so very sorry for your loss. God bless and comfort you in this sad time and bring you lots of joy as you look back on all the great times.

Rome around COVID time

We know Rome from the time we first moved to Millbrook Chase 18 years ago, as we were first told that if needed to get something done call Rome and everyone did just that. He cared deeply to help keep the community looking good and more than anything he was always helping everyone! Simply he cared about people and was always willing to help any way he could. We served together for years on the Millbrook Board, and I was honored to serve those few years with him. We did not always agree...

My memory of Rome goes back many years. On Sundays having spaghetti dinners at Grandma Flo's house (Rome's mother). Having her homemade noodles and Lemon Meringue pies Rome would always be smiling and sharing many stories. No matter where you would see Rome he always had a smile and a little conversation with you. To Rome's daughter, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews know that those we love do not go away for they walk beside us everyday. To his sister Gerry whom he loved so very much his...

I use to bowl with Rome back about 18-20 years ago as a 18-19 year old on Thursday nights at Bardon! My grandfather would come watch myself and everyone else bowl and they really enjoyed talking when my grandfather wasn’t talking to me. It was like having 2 grandfathers watch ya bowl for a few hours. We had a lot of great conversations over those years. I truly miss those nights as my grandfather passed almost 14 years ago and I unfortunately lost touch with Rome after I no longer could keep...
