Ralph Mautone Obituary

Visit the Modell Funeral Home & Cremation Services - Darien website to view the full obituary.
Ralph Mautone, age 77, beloved husband of 56 years to Carol nee Dianovsky, passed away on August 14, 2025.

Proud owner and operator of Ramer Inc. for 30 years, Ralph built his career with dedication and hard work.

He is survived by his daughter, Phyllis (Steve) Pometta; his son, Ralph (Kristy); and his cherished grandchildren, Alyssa, Scott, Gianna, Taylor, and Anthony. He will be deeply missed by his sister-in-law, Kathy (Jay) Nichols; nephews, John (Alexandra) and Joe (Jade); and four great-nieces.

Ralph was a devoted family man who found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved watching the Chicago Cubs-both on TV and in person-and attending the sporting events of his children, grandchildren, and nephews. He also enjoyed fishing and dining out. One of his most memorable sayings was, "it's the path you choose."

Memorial Visitation Friday, August 22nd from 9:00 a.m. until time of memorial service at 11:00 a.m. at Modell Funeral Home, 7710 S. Cass Ave., Darien. Int. private.
