My sympathy to the family and friends of Ronald Cipriano. I can recall his younger days in the 1960's when many younger folks liked to go to the "Bistro" on Olengtangy River Road. Ron's other nickname was "Cip". Ron always like to have a good time despite his hearing impairment.

My late husband John Cherubini loved Ronnie. He shared many great stories about Ronnie and Frank. Once when we visited Florida we caught up with Ronnie and the two of them laughed til they cried. It was along time ago, shortly after he worked at the Ritz Carlton. I bet they are catching up again. My sincerest condolences to his family.

Frank and Kay,
This is a tragic way to re-establish contact after so many years. Little did I realize the Ron was living such a short distance from me.
My most sincere condolences to you both and the entire family.

Ronnie and I were good friends growing up in Arlington in the 40's and 50's and I have many warm memories of him from those days. My sympathies to the many loved ones he left behind.

Dear Ronnie, Thanks for all the great times and so many fond memories and experiences. You were a big brother to me. For over 30 years we have shared Christmas', Thanksgivings, Births,Birthdays, multiple laughs to the point of crying! As you know,I will treasure our friendship all the days. I trust and pray that you are with Mom and having more good times. I hope we are all together someday once again! I Love you Buddy. Charlie.

Ronnie, took care of me when my dad was going through his divorce with Sally. He showed me how to drive and looked after me. I always wondered what happened to him. Unfortunately, I never had any way to get ahold of him. He was a kind and loving man. I'm sorry I wasn't able to contact him before he passed away. He made a big impact on my life.

October 7, 2009

Ronnie was so well thought of by his classmates and friends in Upper Arlington. Perhaps these few comments will help sooth you...
"I remember Cip well. He was by far the toughest linebacker ever to play for UAHS. The rougher it got the better he liked it which always made me glad he was on my team and not the other one!" MH
"He was a good and gentle person." DH
"...he was my neighbor and we played as kids." TH
"He started kindergarten with us." LC
"No matter where you might run into him, there was always a ready smile and a friendly hug. God Speed, Ronnie." SY
