Ronald Caruso Obituary

Crawfordville, Fla. - We are deeply saddened to share that Ronald Carmen "Ron" Caruso, 81, passed away June 17, 2025, in his home surrounded by family. Ron was born July 16, 1943, in Newark, N.J., to Rose and Leonard Caruso. When he was two years old, he and his family relocated to Niantic, where he lived for most of his life before moving to Florida in 2021, with his wife and son.

A drywall finisher for over 60 years, Ron was well known in the area. Ron loved all genres of music, was lead guitarist of the "Rockin' Knights," and won dance competitions. Ron never met a stranger; everyone was instantly his friend. His sense of humor was unmatched; he could tell you the same joke 20 times and you would still laugh.

Ron is survived by his wife Robin of 42 years; his brother Leonard (Dawn); sister Karen, daughter Carrie, son Brian (Elizabeth), daughter Amy (Kyle), son Michael; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, grandpup, and in­-laws.

Per Ron's wishes, a Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, July 5, in Tallahassee, Fla. A Celebration in Connecticut will be held at a later date.

I am very sad to hear of Rons passing. My sincere condolences to his family. I was a builder in East Lyme/ Old Lyme. Ron was the best drywall finisher that I ever worked with. A real gentleman with a great sense of humor. I haven´t seen him in a long while but I always considered a friend. Rest In Peace my friend. God bless.
