Ron was an extraordinary individual, cherished by his fiancé, family, friends, and coworkers. He had a unique gift for connecting with others, and his presence brought joy and warmth to every room he entered.
Born in Paterson, N.J., he was the son of Bonze and Lorraine (nee Cappuccio) Terrulli. For many years, Ronald dedicated his career to working as a Loan Processor at Global Mortgage.
A man of many talents, Ron was an excellent cook and had an impressive knack for numbers. His interests spanned a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, technology, music, business, food, wine, and movies. He could engage in lively conversations for hours, adding humor and lightness to every discussion. His quick wit and gentle demeanor made him a wonderful listener and a true friend. Ron had a special bond with children, becoming like a playful "kid" himself when surrounded by them. He also had a deep love for pets, treating them as part of the family. His compassion and kindness were boundless, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer a kind word without hesitation. His huge heart and genuine respect for others earned him admiration from everyone who knew him. To many, he wasn't just a friend-he was "Uncle Ronnie."
He found joy in life through simple pleasures, whether chatting with his fiancé and friends, watching movies for hours, or cooking and sharing meals with his loved ones. His legacy of kindness, humor, and love will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed by everyone whose life he touched.
Predeceased by his parents, he is survived by his dear sisters, Joanie Kraft and Briten Alston; loving fiancé, Malena and her family; niece and nephew, Jennifer and Anthony Terrulli; and great-nephew, Giovanni.
