Ralph R. Dantino, 56 died Monday, February 18, 2013 surrounded by his family following a courageous nearly four-year battle with cancer.
He was born September 8, 1956 in Chicago, the son of Michael and Serafina (Nasca) Dantino, and grew up in Franklin Park.
He was a graduate of Holy Cross High School in River Grove and spent his career in sales in the heating and ventilation industry and was a partner/owner of Kast Marketing.
A longtime resident of Geneva, he believed in giving back to the community 100%. He coached his children’s sports teams and was a board member of Tri-City Soccer Association.
He loved life and believed in living it to the fullest. He enjoyed sports of all kinds and attending sporting events, particularly Chicago Bears games. Long after his own children had graduated, he was a fixture at Geneva High School football games, where he was an enthusiastic member of the “Chain Gang.” He also loved traveling, particularly vacationing with his family and being with friends.
First and foremost in his life, however, was his family.
He is survived by his wife Nancy, whom he married on June 29, 1984; his children Tom (Marianna) of Carol Stream, Sara of Chicago, Russell of Chicago, Lindsey of Geneva and Drew of Geneva; grandchildren Nicolette, Gabriella and Salvatore; father Michael of Florida; brother Michael (Cathy) of Woodstock; sister Lisa (Ray) Kind of Round Lake; several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews and a host of friends who will all miss him dearly.
