Ralph F. DelGaudio, Age 88, of Enfield, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at Parkway Pavilion. Beloved husband of the late Angeline (Vignone) DelGaudio. Born in the Bronx, New York on January 10, 1937, he was the son of the late Anthony DelGaudio and Josephine (Ricci) DelGaudio.

Ralph honorably served his country in the United States Army. He worked for many years in the printing department at CIGNA Insurance, where he met and later married the love of his life, Angeline. He enjoyed camaraderie and competition playing on the company's softball team and also umpiring. He was a devoted bowler, a loyal supporter of the New York Yankees and New York Giants, and a fan of UCONN sports. He loved driving and would eagerly take his wife on any excursion she wished.

He is survived by his stepdaughters, Debra Caruso and her husband Mark, and Jill Minnocci and her husband Sam, all of Windsor Locks; his son, Jeff DelGaudio and his wife Sherry of Branford; and his stepson Robert DeMartino and his wife Candace of Florida. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, and other extended family. In addition to his beloved wife, Angeline, he was predeceased by his brothers Tony, John, and Larry, and his sister Theresa.

A service honoring Ralph's life will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 25, 2025 at Leete Stevens Enfield Chapels, 61 South Road, Enfield. Guests may arrive up to one half hour prior to the service to greet the family. Burial with military honors will follow in Mt. St. Benedict Cemetery.
