Ralph Carbone Obituary

SENECA FALLS – Ralph "Peter" Carbone, 41, of California, formerly of Seneca Falls, passed away on Friday (April 20, 2018) in California as a result of injuries received in a motor vehicle accident.

Family and friends may attend Peter's Memorial Mass on Friday (April 27) at 10 a.m. at St. Patrick's Church, Seneca Falls, with Reverend James Fennessy, Pastor, as celebrant. Burial will be at the convenience of the family. There will be no prior calling hours.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to St. Francis/St. Clare Parish, 25 Center St., Waterloo, NY 13165

Peter was born in Geneva, N.Y. on September 25, 1976. He was a graduate of Mynderse Academy, Seneca Falls, and had attended S.U.N.Y. at Canton, N.Y. He was a member of St. Francis/St. Clare Parish of Seneca Falls and Waterloo and the Knights of Columbus, Council #222, Seneca Falls and Waterloo, N.Y. Peter had a fond love for music and was known, on many occasions, to break out his guitar. He enjoyed hiking, camping and the great outdoors. Before moving west, Peter had several jobs, but his favorites were cooking at Finger Lakes Bowl & the Tavern on the Flats. While in Colorado, Peter's dream came true and he became a certified white-water rafter and snowmobile guide.

He is survived by his dad and step-mom Bart Carbone and Sue Dellefave of Seneca Falls, N.Y.; three sisters Kelly Carbone of Casselberry, Fla., Joelle Carbone of Seneca Falls, N.Y., Katie (Jeff Tifft) Carbone of Tomball, Texas, three aunts his favorite, Aunt Cuddy and Aunt Cea and Aunt Rose; step-sister, Ashley Dellefave of Seneca Falls, N.Y.; step-brother, Aaron Dellefave of Seneca Falls, N.Y.; and several cousins.

He was predeceased by his Grammy Bones (Dorothy Carbone) who raised him when he was growing up.

Arrangements are under the direction of Doran Funeral Home, Seneca Falls, NY.

Typing this message, makes my heart ache and tears flow from my eyes. You were my buddy and sometimes my protector. I will miss your silly grin and our fun times betting on the horse races we knew nothing about - only to cash in big. I will put some on the underdog this year for you. Much love to your family in this difficult time, especially to sister Kelly, of whom people spoke much of to me (seemingly b/c I am a Kelly too)
