Leo I. Ragni ’55

Leo was born Jan. 1, 1934, in Bellaire, Ohio, and died Sept. 28, 2013, in St. Clairsville, Ohio.

Leo left Princeton in January 1953, worked in the family business (wholesale beer distribution) for a year, then attended Kent State for almost two years. He joined the Army and served for three years before going back to the family business.

He married his wife, Donna, in 1963, and they had a daughter, Loraine.

Leo finally received his degree in business administration in 1969 from the Ohio University Eastern campus in St. Clairsville. During this time, he was running the Ragni Distributing Co. of Bellaire. After he was able to merge it with Iron City Distributing of Mingo Junction in 1993, Leo retired in 1996 at age 62. He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church of St. Clairsville and the Sons of Italy. Some of his best memories are of the friends he made at Princeton.

He is survived by Donna; daughter Loraine; and two grandsons, Joseph and Leo. To them, the class offers condolences.
