To Barbara and my dear cousins,
We can’t express the sadness overwhelming our hearts. My memories and that of my family are filled with Ronnies kindness, warmth and humor. You couldn’t spend time with him and not walk away smiling. He always had a good story and was the family almanac. Over the years I remember calling him so he could explain the history of this very complicated family. We truly enjoyed listening to the many stories he had to tell.
We love him and will miss him.
Love
Richie Rosalie and Jessica
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ronnie. My condolences to you Barbara and the rest of your family. I will always remember the nice visits we shared over the years. Ronnie had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. Ronnie was a caring man who loved the family and we loved him. Try to focus on all the good memories it will help.
I am so saddened by Mr. Lanza’s passing. We will miss him dearly around the office. He always had this big bright smile on his face that was contagious. He was mood lifter for sure. He was so proud of his family and boasted about them often. My heart felt condolences to all of you.
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of such a nice man. I only met Mr. Lanza a few times but he was always smiling. With deepest sympathy.
Ronnie has been a good friend of my family for over 20 years. We are all sad to hear of his passing in such harsh times. We wish we can be there to say goodbye. I know you will be reunited with my father who passed years ago. Now you can laugh together like you used to. Ronnie will be missed by so many. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Barbara, Debra, Ronnie Jr, Joe and their families.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all duirng this very sad time in your life…… I will always remember Mr. Lanza coming into the office with Mrs. Lanza, they were such a cute couple, and were always together. He would tell us about how the ladies loved his singing Mario Lanza and Frank Sinatra tunes to them (he was such a charmer), and he even sang a few tunes for us. Such a sweet, caring, family man… We will miss his smile in the office. — Judy DiFranco
My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Lanza family during this very difficult time. I will always remember Mr. Lanza as a joyful and humorous man. He always had a smile on his face when I saw him. I will never forget him singing a tune to the ladies in the office. It was also evident how much he loved and cherished his family. He was so proud of everyone. He will be missed.

Uncle Ronnie, I cant believe you are gone. I will always remember your strong family values, instilled in all of us, and I believe you are the reason that we have all remained so close. You are the one that started the family BBQs so many years ago, a tradition that i will carry on. We will never forget your famous laugh, your big muscles, or your army stories. And while i never witnessed you ripping the phone book in half, i guess ill just have to take your word for it!! Love you forever. Your niece, Lorri
My deepest condolences to the Lanza family. Mr. Lanza was always so kind to myself and all of us at the office; He always appeared in a good mood and loved to entertain others. I always looked forward to he and Mrs. Lanza’s visits to the office. He was a man that was very obviously proud of his family. He was a good man whose geniality and good nature were obvious to all that were lucky enough to meet him. In knowing Debbie and Ron, it is clear that Mr. Lanza played such an important role in shaping them into the kind-hearted people that they are. He will be missed by many. – Danielle Versteeg
Our deepest condolences to the entire Lanza Family during this very difficult time. My heart is broken for all of you. I miss you so much Ronnie! I can’t believe you are gone. Thank you for your service, for your strong-family values, for your smile, for your laugh, and for the very special person you were. As I think of you, I am reminded of the scripture in the Bible that describes love. “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails! 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I love you Ronnie and I am so thankful to have had you in my life. I wish I could squeeze your face one more time! Love always the La Rosa Family.
Our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the family of Ronald S. Lanza. To a man who served his country proudly and shared some of those experiences with me , i salute a fallen HERO . RON will never be forgotten in so many ways , his love of family, his zest for life and his insatiable appetite.
May you Rest In Peace and God speed. I SALUTE YOU …..GO ARMY LOVE MAUREEN AND BOB IMMEL
Barbara, Ron, Joe and Debra – So sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. I have great memories of him at little league meetings. When he had something to say, he always said it with great passion and he was always there for the kids. I loved listening to his stories especially the one about Ronnie hitting the longest homerun at the little league fields. I am going to miss him. – Bob Desano
