Raymond M. Caciale 1945-2022

Ray was born Oct. 3, 1945, the son of Angelo Caciale and Ann Tisone. He was a lifelong resident of Niles and was a passionate lifelong learner and teacher. He received a B.A. in French, Latin and philosophy from Kent State University, and an M.A. in philosophy from The Ohio State University.

He taught 30 years in the Hubbard School System from 1967 to 1998. Concurrently, while at Hubbard Schools, he taught as an adjunct professor of philosophy and logic for 20 years in the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department at Youngstown State University, 1979 to 1999.

Ray’s main interests were philosophy and religion, logic, foreign languages (French, Latin, Spanish, German and Italian), mathematics, history, art and art history. He also very much enjoyed listening to the musical compositions of the greatest classical composers of Western civilization and was an Ohio State football fan.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Angelo and Ann Tisone Caciale.

He is survived by his cousin, William Tisone and his family (wife Lisa, children, Valerie and Nick), whose help and kindly concern made him happy during his final years, and to whom he is eternally grateful. Ray also had many friends from his teaching days and retirement years that he is grateful for.

Friends may call from 10 a.m. until the time of the 11 a.m. service of Christian Burial on Thursday at The Joseph Rossi and Sons Funeral Home in Niles. The family requests facial coverings be worn.
