Obituary for Tony Ranallo
Funeral Mass for Tony Ranallo, 91, will be 11 a.m. Monday at Immaculate Conception Church, 37940 Euclid Ave., Willoughby.
Tony peacefully passed away Feb. 2, 2022, surrounded by his loving family. He was a lifelong resident of the city of Willoughby.
Tony was a giant in the construction industry, a humble, self-made man, who rose to the pinnacle of his profession and was known and respected by all. Tough but fair, Tony was a relentless perfectionist and a demanding taskmaster who insisted that people give their very best at all times. In return, everyone touched by Tony will tell you he made them better.
