COLUMBUS — Gregory P. “Greg” Ferranti, 71, formerly of Youngstown, born Feb. 9, 1951, to Lawrence and Clara Ferranti, passed away peacefully Sunday, Nov. 6, 2022, after a three-year battle with cancer.
Greg was a 1969 graduate of Boardman High School. He completed his bachelor’s degree in accounting at Youngstown State University, Class of 1974.
Greg was a dedicated accountant for over 30 years, working for the Cafaro Company and retiring from Ohio Insurance Liquidation in 2012. In retirement, he passionately followed professional golf and enjoyed day trips to the casino. He loved watching Buckeyes and Browns football, and had a love for fishing and cooking that he passed onto his grandchildren. He was a generous man to his family and friends. His infectious laugh and bright smile will be missed.
