Mr. Raniero was a wonderful man. He was a mentor and role model to many of us young kids on Wise Ave.
To his family, sons, John and Ed, I extend my sincere prayers and thoughts and those of Mom & Dad (Mac and Thelma Robinson). Your parents were the “BEST” neighbors. We all have the fondest memories of our time on Wise Ave. So glad we were able to get together a few years back in Caledonia and reminisce.
Love you Dad forever!
Grandpa you were the absolute best romodel of family and life skills anyone could of ever asked for. You looked out for all of us always and always had a lesson, story, or hand to give. You were one of a kind and I have peace knowing you lived your last years with the best care and most fun adventures. We all love you Boss. 💕
Our deepest sympathies on your dad’s passing. We send you our love and peace.
