Ceppetelli played in the CFL from 1963-67 and again from 1970-71.
Following the retirement of Hall-of-Fame center Jim Ringo after the 1967 season, the Eagles signed centers Ceppetelli and Mike Evans. Ceppetelli was the starter in 1968, but was surpassed by Evans in 1969. Gene also played for the Giants later in the 1969 season.
After his football career, Ceppetelli worked in the construction business. My father was a carpenter, and told me he once worked on a jobsite with Ceppetelli. (I think it was in the early-1980s.)
