Ralph Sica Jr.

Ralph Sica Jr., 72, passed from this life on Tuesday, February 27, 2024.  He was the devoted husband of 47 years to Joanne M. (Curreri) Sica. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he was the son of the late Ralph Sica Sr. and Margaret (Spangler) Sica.

Surviving in addition to his wife are three children, Angela Ross and her spouse, William of Downingtown, PA, Christina Wagner and her spouse, John of Elverson, PA, and Samuel Sica and his spouse, Caitlin of Pasadena, Maryland.  Also lovingly survived by eight grandchildren, Sophia Ross, Sadie Ross, Luke Wagner, Faith Wagner, Caroline Wagner, Brynn Wagner, Rebecca Sica, and Stephanie Sica; and a brother, Thomas Sica of San Diego, CA.  Ralph is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Ralph enjoyed many simple pleasures including cruising in his Camaro, listening to his favorite Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac and Chicago tunes, attending monthly car shows, being outdoors in the sunshine, sitting in the sunroom reading a good book, exercising daily in the basement with his music blaring, and getting together for lunch with his best pal, Donny,  but his greatest joy was spending time with his children and beautiful grandchildren. When he was surrounded by his family his face lit up with JOY.

God bless his beautiful soul.  He is now in his eternal resting place with his Lord.
