Ralph Barbieri

When I lived in The City in the mid 90's to early 2000's, I was in my car for many hours a day all over Northern California. I listened to Ralph & Tom pretty much everyday, even turning on my radio even after getting out of the car. I didn't always agree with Ralph, but he was part of why I still find KNBR my top stations, even listening streaming as I now live and work in Phoenix. Hats off to Mr. T as well. Thanks for being a part of my life as nearly as much as The Giants & Niners.

Ralph was a good friend of my Father Wells Twombly. Ralph often spent the night at our Burlingame home. 1970’s. As a kid I enjoyed racing around town in his California Special 1960’s Mustang. Rest In Peace and say hi to my father.

I believe there is a screenplay in here...capturing an extraordinary man with whom i have the Bay Area in common. How blessed are his loved ones. Thank you for this.

Inspiring. Listened to Ralph many times but didn't know his path and mine, as for locations, were identical. I too was born in SF, raised in Millbrae & attended Mills High. It's cool to know his greater path and how he made a life for himself that he enjoyed and valued while also facing an unrelenting foe the last 15 years. I enjoyed Ralph on the radio with Tom. Their connection came through on the airwaves. I was introduced to Ralph & Tom in 1997 while working in Campbell in a small three...

God Bless Ralph & his son, Tayte!

With All Our Love,
The Fadeeff Family

Ralph would do anything for you. He was a generous, kind man with a big heart. Most of all, he was a loving father to Tayte. RIP my friend.

Loved his no nonsense, straight-forward, "cut to the chase" interviews. By the by, I never knew half the stuff The Gate noted in this obituary. Thank you for "fleshing out" the man. He truly is remarkable!

Thanks for caring about people. animals, trees and your local planet, Ralph, and enjoy your new adventures on the Other Side!

You and Tom really made my life fun drom 3 to 7. You truly are a knbr treasure. RIP. My friend
