Mrs. Delorie, Ralph and Andrea,
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I apologize for not contacting you sooner but I just saw the note in an issue of the Malden Catholic News Magazine. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Dear Joan and Family, I am so sorry to hear that Ralph passed. He was such a kind gentleman and it was my pleasure to work with him and to know him. He always had great stories of the different adventures he went on. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Mary Migliore (formerly of Tuckerman Steel)

Dear Joan,
so sorry to hear of your loss. I was a distant cousin of Ralph's and grew up with him on Indian Mound Beach. I met you quite a few years ago. He was such a gentleman. He will be missed. Betty Hart Gatturna

So sorry to hear of your loss. I grew up on Bainbridge St in Malden and so many fond memories are of the DELORIE FAMILY. Did you know that up in the woods behind the Arbo"s house we named a "rock"(more like a boulder) RALPHIE'S ROCK. He was like a big brother to all of us.
My prayers are with you.
