Ronald Verrico Obituary
Ron was born in Everett, Massachusetts to Micheal and Laura Verrico on December 26th, 1946. He worked as a sprinkler fitter at Mik-Ron Fire protection, and The Sprinkler Man with his brother before joining the Sprinkler Fitters union 550 with his son Patrick and later son Matthew. Ron was an active community member in Melrose Massachusetts volunteering as Scout Master for his son's Boy Scout troop #615.
Ron is survived by his wife of 46 years Brenda, sons Patrick, Matthew, daughter Lauren, their spouses Valerie, Katherine, Nathan, grandchildren Annalilia, Cecelia, Jack and six day old Maggie Kate. As well as brother Michael, sister Lorriane Foley and their respective children.
Ron was diagnosed with stage four cancer in late April and was able to spend time with all of his children before passing. He was accompanied by his wife Brenda and golden doodle Enzo in his final moments.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Saint Jude's in Ron's memory.

Ron was a great guy, and I recall fondly the many times that we shared in the Boy Scouts with our sons. He was a dedicated scoutmaster, a gentle giant, at a lot of fun to be with... I look forward to wearing my Hawaiian shirt on Sunday, in his honor.

"Mr. Verrico" was a mainstay of my teenage years. He was a great scoutmaster that could be both jolly and firm when needed and never patronizing.
He was also a kind man who welcomed me into his home each morning as a family member, chatting with him and Mrs. Verrico in their kitchen before continuing on my way to school with his oldest son, Patrick.
I am swarmed with many great scouting memories under his leadership in learning of his passing. I am blessed to have known him and the entire Verrico family. Love and prayers to Brenda, Patrick, Matthew and Lauren.

So sorry to hear of Ron´s passing. He was Scoutmaster of Troop 615 when my son joined and I asked Ron "Need any help?" He brought me in as an Assistant Scoutmaster and taught me how the program worked to build leadership in the boys. He was my idea of a perfect Scoutmaster and the whole Troop was better because of his time there. RIP, Ron.

Ron always made us laugh. He had such a great dry, yet playful sense of humor that made him a wonderful companion. We had so many great times together: cruising, at Disney events, Solivita events, and enjoying his (and Brenda's) hospitality at their home so many times. His memory shall be a blessing to all that were lucky enough to know him. Rest in peace, dear Ron.
