Kenneth Paul Ranallo "Ken"

KENNETH PAUL RANALLO "KEN" age 95, passed away on September 27, 2023, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born on September 4, 1928, and was the beloved and dedicated husband of Vera (nee Testa) for almost 74 years.

Ken and Vera were married on October 29, 1949, at Holy Rosary Church in Little Italy in Cleveland.

Anyone who knew Ken would describe him as very sociable, outgoing and extremely energetic. He was always quick to resolve any problem that came up in his personal life and at work. He did this for 36 years as the General Manager of Friedman Buick, a job he truly loved and was proud to hold. Everyone was told numerous stories (many times!) about the time he spent managing Friedman Buick.

Ken is survived by his wife Vera, daughters Debbie Johnson (Paul), Kathy Mayes (Harry), Cindy Scaminace (Joe), and Lori Gallo (Vince). Grandfather (Poppy) to Sandy Ranallo, Colleen Welder (Rick), Ken Maglosky (Amy), Nicholas Maglosky (Stephanie), Kelly Winkelhake (Dave), Rick Doberstein (Dezi), and Olivia Gallo.

Proud Poppy to great grandchildren: Micah, Emma and Cayden Maglosky, Claire Welder, Reese and Owen Maglosky and Malachi Doberstein. Ken was also a step grandfather to many. He was preceded in death by his parents Frances and John Ranallo, sister Sue and brother Robert.
