Ralph was predeceased by his loving wife, Peggy, of 46 years. He is survived by his children, grandchildren, several wonderful siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family and friends.
Ralph was a devoted husband, father, and grandpa. His wife meant the world to him.
He is lovingly remembered by his son Ralph III and wife Lauren of Red Hook, NY and daughter Allison and husband Ryan Karas of Monroe, CT. His heart belonged to his six grandchildren: Jillian, Caleb, Emily, Riley, Ryan Jr.,and Tyler.
Ralph loved being busy. For 30+ years, he worked for Pitney Bowes as a process engineer. He was also a school bus driver and a longtime sports official.
Ralph enjoyed vacationing with his family and metal-detecting at the beach. Throughout his life, he was an avid car and motorcycle enthusiast. In his final years, he found happiness spending time with the sisters of the Missionaries of Charity.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
The family would like to thank Dr. Tamasdan of St. Vincent's Medical Center for her wonderful and compassionate care.

We both met Ralph when working at McDonald´s. He was genuinely a nice person. Saw him again last fall. Great catching up and he couldn´t say enough about his family. We are so very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace now reunited with your mom and Jesus.

My sincere condolences to the Cerulo family. I was fortunate enough to work with Ralph at PB, and later ran into him when he was officiating my daughter's sports in Wilton. His sincere compassion and great sense of humor will be sorely missed. RIP Ralph.
