It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Vito Ciraco and Charlene Blanche Ciraco (Sanesky). Ron passed away on Aug. 16, 2025, and Charlene followed just six days later, on Aug. 22, 2025. Married for over 64 years, Ron and Charlene lived a life filled with love, dedication and shared adventure. Their bond was unbreakable, and it brings comfort to their family and friends to know they are still together, having only spent a brief moment apart.

Ron was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Joseph and Mary Ciraco, and grew up in West Babylon, N.Y., alongside his brothers Billy and Gary. Charlene was born to Walter and Jean Sanesky, in Queens, N.Y., and raised in Huntington, N.Y., with her brother Michael and sister Michelle.
