Ronald F. Ribero recently passed away at the young age of 60. He grew up in Dedham and spent his summers in Marshfield where he enjoyed water skiing and boating. In the winter he would spend time in New Hampshire because he loved to Ski and also it was a place he stated, "You can live Free "
He was an arborist by trade and a hard worker at that. When you did see Ron he always had his sidekick with him, Tuxedo, his little dog who he adored. If Ron wasn't in a tree somewhere working then you would find him on the dance floor, his true passion. He was always on the road traveling for his next tree job or to find a new place to dance. He lived life to the fullest and he will surely be missed.
He leaves behind his two sons, Jason Ribero and Nicholas Goffredo, who he loved with all his heart, along with his mother Dorothy Ribero and his aunt Ruth Kennedy in which he had tremendous love for both of them. He also leaves behind his three siblings, Linda Shannon, Deborah Burns and Thomas Ribero.
A Funeral mass will be held at St. Mary's Church Franklin, MA on Tuesday, June 30, at 10 a.m. He will be joining his father George and his brother John at St. Joseph's Cemetery in West Roxbury, MA which will be a private event for his family.
