Ralph Ciccia

Loved father of the late Sam (d. 2023), Emily (Don Evans), Tina (Oscar Bonesso), Lisa (Julian Ross) and Joe. Proud grandfather to Jessica, Jen, Erik, Olivia, Danielle, Cameron, Dominic and Chloe. Great grandfather to Emma, Nick and Jacob. Cherished brother to Marianna (late Angelo) and Joseph (Rose). Predeceased by Vince (Rosa), Frank (late Anne), Michael (Angela) and Angelo. Predeceased by his parents Salvatore and Annuziata. Loved by many nieces and nephews. Will be missed by all friends and extended family.

Ralph was born in Cinque Fronde, Calabria, Italy in 1937 and immigrated to Canada in 1948 with his mother and siblings. Here he created a successful pizza business and was a Canadian Cab driver for several years. Affectionately known as “Uncle Ralph” to many. He was an animated storyteller and could keep you entertained for hours.

Thank you to the staff at Guelph General Hospital, St. Joseph’s Health Centre and Barnswallow Place Care Community for their care of Ralph in his final months.

As per our father’s request, a private family service will be held.

Arrangements entrusted to Gilbert MacIntyre and Son Funeral Home, 252 Dublin St. N Guelph, ON.
