Ronald Gasparro Obituary
Ronald J. Gasparro, 82, of Auburn, passed away peacefully early Monday morning, August 11, 2025, at SUNY Upstate Hospital in Syracuse, with his loving family at his side.
He was born in Auburn, the son of the late Joseph and Josephine (Verillo) Gasparro and raised by his late step-mother Jenny (Williams) Gasparro. 'Ron' as he was affectionately known by his family and friends, served our country honorably in the Army during the Vietnam War Era . He retired from New Process Gear in Syracuse after over 30 years of service. Ron was a parishioner of St. Hyacinth's Church and cherished all the special times with his family. He also enjoyed a more than occasional trip to one of our local casinos.
He is survived by his loving wife with whom he hit the 'jackpot' of more than 60 years, Agnes 'Angie' Gasparro; daughter, Nicole Napoli and her husband, Thomas, all of Auburn; sister-in-law, Carol Jasniewski and her husband, Phil; as well as a niece, nephews, many cousins and friends.
A calling hour will be held next Tuesday, August 19th in St. Hyacinth's Church from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. with his Mass of Christian burial to follow at 1 p.m. Entombment will follow in St. Joseph's Mausoleum.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Ron's memory to Matthew House, 43 Metcalf Dr., Auburn, NY 13021.
