William "Bill" J. Ranko

Age 84, of Monroeville, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, March 15, 2026 with his family at his side. Beloved husband of Frances (Villanueva) Ranko.

Bill was a devoted father, proud grandfather, loyal friend and respected businessman whose life was defined by generosity, laughter, and unwavering dedication to those he loved. As the owner of a successful business, he built more than a company- he built lasting relationships and earned the respect of his community through hard work, honesty and determination. But those who knew him best will remember him not for his accomplishments but for the kind of man he was. Bill had a remarkable gift for making people feel welcome. He was endlessly generous with his time, always ready to lend a helping hand, and would do anything for his friends. His quick wit and constant supply of jokes meant there was rarely a moment without laughter when he was around. Bill leaves behind a legacy of kindness, loyalty, humor, and love. The stories, laughter and lessons he shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be profoundly missed by his children, grandchildren, extended family, and the many friends whose lives he touched.
