August 3rd, 1962 – April 12th, 2020
Ronnie was a loving father, loyal son, brother, uncle and friend, to have had him in your life was a blessing. He was a Teamster for Local 25 and worked for Xpedx/Veritiv of Wilmington for almost 30 years, as well as a member of the Knights of Columbus. He loved his Boston sports teams, but his favorite was the Bruins, so you could imagine how happy he was when his son shared the passion and played hockey. He grew up in East Boston alongside his siblings; the late Charles DiPerri, Mary Ann Arsenault, the late Karen Lentini, and Linda Anderson and her husband Dave, as well as his parents; the late John and Anna DiPerri. He leaves behind what he called his two greatest accomplishments his son Anthony J. DiPerri and his daughter Alexandria M. DiPerri, as well as his ex-wife Diana DiPerri Souza, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends. What will never be forgotten was his pride in his Italian/Sicilian heritage. The way he meticulously dressed with not a hair out of place. His exceptional taste and love in music will forever live on in his children. He would sing for hours with his beloved daughter Alexandria who he called his “sweetie”. He loved to make people laugh, he spread happiness everywhere he went. He was the type of person that would be there for you, only a phone call away. Never at a loss for words, made friends everywhere he went and by the end of the conversation you made a forever friend. His disease Leukodystrophy took the essence of who he was, but will never take away the beautiful memories of his life.
