Ronald Anthony Riggi

You always made me feel like family. You inspired me to dream big. For that you and your family will always have a special place in my heart.

A very special guy

Michelle and family, I am so sorry to hear of Ron´s passing. He was a very good man and will be missed greatly,hope that you and your family find comfort and peace knowing he is withGod in heaven my deepest condolences. George Knauf

The years of knowing this fine man, Ron Riggi, began in high school at Draper. He was a scholar athlete who played hard and studied hard. Ron was kindhearted and respectful to his classmates and teachers. He and his brother Vince were inseparable. His fine traits remained with him throughout his adult life. Family was important to Ron and they now have wonderful memories of his life with him as a husband, father, and brother.
Ron’s passing was very sad. The last I saw Ron was at our 50th Draper class reunion which he and Vince and Michele generously hosted. We were one of several recipients of their kindness.
May Ron now Rest In Peace and continue in our memories as the wonderful man he was.

What a guy. My sympathies and prayers

Michele & family, please accept my condolences for the loss of Ron. Please know that your family is in my family's prayers.

Dear Michele & Family,
Our deepest sympathy to you on Ron’s passing. The wonderful words about his life showed what a loving husband, father and Saratogian he was. He truly embraced life and gave back so much. Michele, I hope that surrounding yourself with family and dear friends at this time will give you some comfort, we are so sorry.

To the Family of Ron Riggi,
Having spent many years at Draper with Ron and Vince, I was saddened to learn of Ron's passing.
He wrote in my yearbook:
"Too bad you are not going to college, but marriage isn't such a bad thing is it?
We both discovered that he was so right!
Cherish all those wonderful memories and remember that love never ends.
With sincere sympathy to you, Vince, and all the family and praying that you will feel God's presence as you go through this very difficult time.
With memories and love,
Sharlene Albert Mann

I just read the news if Ron´s passing. I know i haven´t seen you in many years but those years that we were close are treasures that I can never forget. Ron was a truly wonderful man and made me try harder to be as good as he was. I honestly cannot wrap my head around his passing as he was always bigger than life. The legacy that he has left can never be forgotten and never be replaced by anyone. I go to the gym at the Y in Saratoga and as I enter that weight i look up at the dedication sign and smile thinking of you and Ron and how much you gave to this city. You are wonderful, special people and will always be loved. My deepest and most sincere condolences to you and your beautiful family. If you need anything, please let me know. Love to you all. Pete

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time for your entire family.

So very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Many fun memories of the past will always stay with us!

I’m so sorry for your, and the worlds, loss of a great man. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Mr and Mrs Riggi: Thank you for all the help you've given the Capital District and the animals of the Capital District. The Riggi family has been a wonderful addition to the area. RIP Mr. Riggi. You were proof that angels walk this earth.

I am sorry to hear about Ron’s illness and death. I wish the family peace, strength, and comfort from the happy memories during this difficult time.

Dear Michele,
I am so sorry to read that the Boss has passed on. His generous heart must have felt all of your love as he passed from this life to the next. Sending sincere condolences and wrapping you in prayer. I know my dad Bill Egan felt honored to earn the trust of the Riggi brothers and of course always held you in high esteem.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I unintentionally forgot to include Vince, Ron’s brother. I’m sorry. I can only imagine what you’re feeling.

I’ve known Ron, Michele and their children for over 30 years. While we join the family in the comfort that he’s no longer in pain, Ron was a big spirit and his absence will be felt by his family for sure, but also his friends for a long time to come. He was a force that seemed like he would always be. Like so many, the Riggi’s have always treated me like family, seemingly endless acceptance of who you are and, like other successful people I’ve known, Ron could see through the masks and veils most, sometimes put on. His observations were keen and I’ll remember a few personal ones for years to come. Michele, Rochele, Vince, Chris and your families . I’m so very sorry and sad. It was a privilege to have known your husband and father.

Dear Michele and the entire Riggi family, I am so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I am sending my deepest condolences and prayers to you all. May the love from your family and beautiful pups, friends, and community lift you up at this difficult time.

Your life speaks the truth about a wonderful life and your love shared on earth, Chris my deepest condolences to your family.

I knew Ron in childhood and teenage years. Even then he was clearly an extraordinary individual. It is not surprising that his life was so well lived. Deepest sympathy to my old friend Vince, and to the extended famly I was never privileged to meet

I was shocked to see this and at a loss for words. Ron was a wonderful friend, neighbor and someone you could always go to. Ron and I grew up in Rotterdam, New York just a street away from each other. I am so saddened for Ron's family and especially his twin, Vincent. God bless you Ron and you are finally at peace. Say hello to my husband, Larry for me.

I appreciate the opportunity both Ron and Vince gave me and the confidence he had in me giving me the flexibility to run his shipping department while employed at TSL. God Bless.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Reading the obituary was an eye opener of the full contribution that Ron made to the community, his family and to the animals he loved. Rest in peace.

A heartfelt thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.

There are no words.. so much love to your dear family, you are in our hearts. I remember meeting you through Joseph.

A heart of Gold was takin from the world the day God called you home . You were a man among men may your kindness an humanity towards the animals never end a legacy to be continue on. May your family an loved ones find comfort wthin the memories you created an shared with them . You certainly will be missed

To Michele and all the Riggi family. Sending prayers and thoughts of comfort to you at this sad time. Ron will be missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss Michele I know how much you loved Ron and I know he has left a hole in your heart that will be there forever. If I can be a comfort to you at all, please reach out when you're ready. I'm just a phone call away. Love you, Dawn
