Former Hoboken resident Robert Ranieri III, 29, died on Tuesday in a skydiving accident over Lake Tahoe in California. Ranieri
was making a skydive to celebrate opening his new business that teaches
people how to operate parachutes, according to his grandfather, former
Hoboken assemblyman and councilman Robert Ranieri Sr.
Ranieri III’s first chute twisted and an emergency chute didn’t open,
his grandfather said. Ranieri III’s body was found 15 feet below the
surface in Lake Tahoe. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has
been holding his body pending an investigation to rule out foul play.
He
leaves behind a wife, an 8-month-old child, parents, grandparents and
two siblings. After a memorial service near Lake Tahoe, his family plans
to have his body brought to Hoboken for his funeral at Lawton-Turso
Funeral Home.
