"Ralph and I have been good friends for over sixty years and have shared many good memories past and present. Now there are the memories and the hope we’ll meet again. Our friendship extended beyond ourselves; my friends and family could become his and vice versa. Ralph met his challenges with a willingness and optimism to do whatever it takes to make things better; hopefully I’ll always remember and be inspired by that. You will be missed but not forgotten my friend."

"I went to grammar school and high school with Ralph. Although we didn't keep in touch after that, when I saw him at reunion events, he was still the same "nice , fun guy" as when we were young, and was still the good dancer he had been way back then. My deepest sympathy to all his family."

Scott Emond from Fountain Hills, AZ

"I can still hear his voice. "What are your intentions?", Ralph playfully yet seriously demanded, looking straight into my eyes. When I asked Janet Palmeri – his cousin – her hand in marriage twenty six years ago, I knew Ralph was one to keep his family close and forever cared for. I'm fortunate to have been blessed by his warmth, charm, and love. Memories of Ralph will live on in a special corner of my heart."
