RALPH CONFESSORE

I remember Ralph as an outstanding teacher, person and friend. Ralph had this incredible way of describing in great detail while capturing your attention on any subject at the moment. You could sit and listen to Ralph as he spoke about how things worked. Ralph would take our class outdoors as he explained in great detail about nature, stopping along the way to point out important details that we never gave 2nd thought to. If I could have picked my teachers in KHS, Ralph Confessore would have...

I have wonderful memories of Mr. Confessore's science class. He was a caring, very intelligence teacher and he had the special ability to make a 'dry' subject very interesting. He related science to everyday activities. I enjoyed his class so very much and thank him for all the good memories of KHS.

Thank you Ralph for all of the love and kindness you bestowed upon the Battista Family over the years. You were a fantastic teacher and a wonderful friend to us all. I personally will never forget painlessly studying Physics in your classroom, the letters of recommendation you wrote for me me for higher education, and the Friday night meals at Umberto's in Little Italy with you and my late father.

Ralph was truly one of the great teachers at KHS. He was the type of person that you came back to visit long after graduation. He became a friend who enjoyed joining myself and some of the other guys that also had him as a teacher and who lived in the Manor section of Kearny, at Snug Harbor for pizza and beer. We knew he loved us and we loved him. Always fun to be around. Rest in peace good friend, rest in peace knowing you served your time on earth honorably.

Ralph you been a great teacher and a good neighbor my kids and I are heart broken. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rest In Peace. We will always remember you.

Ralph, you were always the "philosopher" to me. You will be missed.
