Obituary
Ronald Albert Durante, 76 passed away on April 6,
2020 due to complications from Covid-19 pneumonia.
He
was born in Gravesend, Brooklyn, NY on October 31, 1943
to parents Alfred and Jean Durante. He is survived by
his loving and devoted wife, Camille Durante, of whom he
married in 1976 and they enjoyed forty-four years of
marriage together. He was predeceased by his father
Alfred and mother Jean.
Ron was the most generous self-less man who loved
spending time with his family, surrounded by good food
and great company. Traveling, fishing, and entertaining
his friends were his favorite past times. We will always
have fond memories of him making cocktails for everyone
during the holidays or on vacation at Eagle Beach in
Aruba, his happy place. Ron had a lifetime of
experiences which turned into stories that he shared
with all of us that will not be forgotten.
He is survived by his son, Ronald Durante Jr. (Wife
Kathleen), his daughter, Christina Jean Durante (husband
Joshua), his grandson, Ronald Durante III, his brothers
Eugene Durante (wife Terry predeceased) and Alfred J.
Durante (husband William), and nephews Alfred Durante
(wife Jeanne), Eugene Durante and James Durante, and
great niece, Alexandra Durante.
He will be remembered by his extended family, cousins
and lifelong friends.
Unfortunately, due to the global pandemic we will hold a
Memorial Mass and celebration of Ron’s life at a future
date.
