John J. Ranieri DDS age 75 a long time resident of Wayne presently residing in Estero, Florida and summer home in Lakewood, NJ. His passing took place on Sunday after a four year courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma. His passing was quiet and peaceful while receiving the loving care of his wife who was at his bedside.
He was born in Manhattan, New York and spent his formative years in the Bronx, where he attended public grammar school and then Evander Childs High School, graduating with the Class of 1952. He went on to study at Fordham University, where he graduated with honors and received a Bachelor of Science Degree.
While in college he met Lucille Boccia, and they soon became sweethearts and have remained so all of these years. They married in August 1958, honeymooned in Miami, Florida, and have enjoyed a “wonderful marriage” for fifty-two years. Following his graduation from Fordham, John attended New York University School of Dentistry, where he received his Doctor of Dental Science Degree.
Following graduation from NYU Dental School, John served in the Army for two years and attained the rank of Captain. While in the Army, he discovered a passion for golf, dedicating much of his leisure time to practicing and improving upon every aspect of his game. He shared this passion by teaching the game to several members of his family and exhibiting unlimited patience and assistance as he brought them up to speed. He especially enjoyed playing with his family and brothers-in-law on many courses throughout New Jersey and Florida.
After his time in the military, John established his dental practice in Wayne, New Jersey, where he worked with thorough commitment and boundless enthusiasm for forty-six years before finally retiring in 2004. After retiring he and Lucille purchased a home on a golf course in Florida and would spend much of the year there, as well as at their summer residence in Lakewood, New Jersey.
John was a parishioner of Our Lady of The Valley RC Church in Wayne.
By way of background, John was of proud Italian heritage. John's father, Joseph Ranieri, left his home in Italy and came to America at the age of sixteen, searching for a better life and pursuing opportunities only a thriving city like New York could offer. Shortly after arriving in NYC, he met the girl of his dreams, Santina Albanese, and they married and raised their son John and daughter Josephine in the Bronx.
More so than work and golf and other pursuits and interests, John's ultimate dedication was his family. His wife, children and grandchildren cherish his memory, the way he touched their hearts and challenged their minds, and his constant words of encouragement, acts of generosity and the love he placed in their lives. He was a wonderful husband, cherished father and selfless man.
Surviving to mourn this wonderful husband, father and grandfather are his loving wife Lucille (nee Boccia) Ranieri; two sons Joseph Ranieri and his wife Lynda of Fredon, NJ, John Ranieri and his wife Janelle of Cleveland, Ohio; his daughter Stephanie Ranieri of Point Pleasant, NJ; one sister Josephine Baldino and her husband Frank of Fair Lawn; six grandchildren Emily, Caitlyn, Lucy, John, Matthew and Logan. He is also survived by his sister in law Kathleen Boccia and her fiancé Dan Fremund; his brother in law Donald Boccia and his wife Judy, and many nieces and nephews.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in John’s memory are asked to consider The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), 383 Main Avenue, 5th Floor, Norwalk, CT 06851; or POAC Parents of Autistic Children, 1999 Route 88, East Brick, NJ 08724.
