Ralph Cicetti

Ralph Cicetti, age 50 of Wayne passed away very unexpectedly on Saturday July 1, 2023

Ralph was born in Belleville at Clara Maas hospital on April 22, 1973 with his fraternal twin brother Donald, Jr. to Donald Sr and Colette Cicetti. He was raised in Stephen Crane Village in Newark and graduated from Essex County Vocational Technical High School in 1993.

Ralph began his career as a mosquito inspector for Essex County Public Works in 1998 thru 2020 and was most recently employed by Mosquito Shield in West Orange.

Ralph was loving, caring, funny and kind-hearted. He loved cooking and baking, especially his Christmas cookies which included his grandmother’s recipe for pignoli cookies. He loved his sports, including Yankees Baseball and Nascar. He was the most avid Minnesota Vikings football fan and a season ticket holder to the New Jersey Devils hockey team. He was truly a “fanatic”. He loved being with his friends at dinners, parties and social gatherings.

Ralph met his wife Cheryl thru going to the New Jersey Devils hockey games, where they both held season tickets separately. Ralph would bring his nephew Gary and Cheryl would bring her nephew Jack. They would occasionally meet for the warm-ups for the team , or see each other at team events,  and pass each other on the concourse, until Ralph finally asked her out for dinner. They were married on August 30, 2015 to a New Jersey Devils themed wedding and reception. They have now been season ticket holders together for 20 years.
