Ralph Sperrazza Obituary

Ralph C. Sperrazza
August 24, 1940 - September 30, 2020 Ralph Sperrazza, 80, of Raleigh, NC, formerly of Trumbull passed away peacefully at home after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
Born in Pittston, PA to Ross and Josephine Sperrazza, he moved to CT at an early age and lived in CT until his move to NC in 2009. He graduated from Stamford High School. Ralph had a successful 43 year career at Pitney Bowes.
Ralph was a loving husband, father and grandfather. His greatest joy came from his children and grandchildren. He coached Trumbull Little League, Babe Ruth, Boys Youth and Travel Basketball. Later in life, he was often found as a spectator at his grandchildren's many activities. Ralph will be remembered for his quiet, calm, gentle and patient demeanor.
Ralph is survived by his wife of 60 years Beverly Bria Sperrazza, his sons, Ralph (Meghan), Jim (Mary), Kevin (Julie) and his daughter Susan (Dale Ryba) as well as 8 grandchildren.
Due to the COVID pandemic, a private ceremony will be held at a later date.

Saddened to hear of Ralphs passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bev, Ralph, Jimmy, Susan , and Kevin.
Ralphs gentle and loving demeanor was so special to me in my youth and I always felt like a part of the Sperrazza family.
I pray that the family can find solace in the Lord and know that Ralph is at peace now in paradise.
May God bless and keep you all comforted.
With my love and prayers,
John
