Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Ralph was a terrific cousin to my brother and myself. Matilda (Petrillo) Gagliardi.

Danielle, My condolences and heartfelt sorrow in your loss. May he always be in your hearts and know that he will always be looking out for his family.

We lost a great man, and a solid piece of New Jersey history. My cousin Ralph was a no nonsense straight forward guy, with a ton of knowledge and an even bigger heart. I never heard one negative word about him. In my family, he was like royalty. He will be dearly missed, but not forgotten. Not ever. Goodbye for now, cuz.

The measure of a man is in accomplishments and relationships. Ralph DeRose accomplished much and was loved and respected by friends and family. He will be missed.

Cousin Ralph, may you rest in peace. You always were very good to me personally and to my family, my sister Matilda and my late parrents Jimmy and Jenny. God has taken a true Rose home for his garden of special souls, you will never be forgotten. My prayers are with Daryn, Dayn and Anne Marie and their families.

My condolences to the family. Psalms 55:22
