Ralph A. Cefaratti 1940 - 2025 Ralph peacefully entered his eternal rest on August 7, 2025. He is survived by Carolin Jean, (McGlynn) his loving wife of 64 years, and his children, Marc (Nichole) Cefaratti and Deborah Cefaratti, both of Spring Hill, TN. Also surviving are brothers Vincent Cefaratti of Willowick, OH, Louis (Gerry)Cefaratti of Peachtree City , GA, sister Benedetta (Betty) Meyer of Willoughby Hills, OH, and many special nieces and nephews. He leaves a lifetime of warm, happy and loving memories with Carolin’s sisters, Joyce, Kate, and brother Bill. Predeceasing him are heavenly angels Christine and Brian, his parents Leonard and Leonida Cefaratti, brothers Michael and Leonard, Jr. (June), and daughter-in-love Kathy (Staudt) Cefaratti. Ralph grew up in Euclid, Ohio and raised his family in Hudson and Stow, Ohio before moving to Tennessee in 2019 to enjoy the sunshine. He was a skilled journeyman Tool & Die Maker for GM and retired from the Lordstown, Ohio plant in 2007. He was known by family, friends, and neighbors to share advice or wisdom and would give the last dollar in his wallet to a stranger. He often shared mechanical repair abilities and never met a challenge he would not tackle to help someone out. Ralph lived his life as a man of character and integrity, always putting family above himself. “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.” Rest now, rest in peace.
