						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.
