A man of few words, he enjoyed fishing and camping with his family, as well as the occasional trip to Reno to play the slot machines. In his middle years, he was also an active member of three Italian clubs in Oakland: The Colombo Club (where he met my mother), the Alpicella Club, and the Ligure Club.
He left behind his wife of 57 years, Elsie Ratto; a daughter (me); a son-in-law; and two grandsons. He is greatly missed.
Husband of Elsie Josephine Badella Ratto
Father of Deborah Ann Ratto Dash
Brother of Rena Cerruti
Son of Antonio Ratto and Bernardina Ratto
