Ralph J. Lordi Jr.

I just saw the memorial notice for Ralph in the Babson alumni magazine and wanted to offer my condolences to his family. I had a number of classes with Ralph at Babson and worked with him on projects. He was nice, funny, and never full of himself! (At business school, it is not uncommon to meet people who are full of themselves.)

The last time I saw Ralph was years ago, at Logan Airport, as we both dashed to catch morning flights. He told me that he and his wife were expecting...

Today is February 3rd. It has been 4 weeks since Ralph's death. These have been heart breaking, tearful weeks for me, my wife Bonnie and First Bible Baptist Church. Our hearts break for the loss of our friend. He was such a GREAT friend and brother in Christ. The tears so often just begin to flow...without warning...I don't know if they will ever stop.

I have known Ralph since he was gloriously saved at an old fashioned campmeeting in July of 1993, and in all that time I have...

Ralph was one of the best Christian men that I have ever known. Every aspect of his life seemed to center around the Lord Jesus Christ. We have gone camping together (with George and others), fishing together, preached together, he has watched my home and dog - which he regretted the rest of his life! He has helped me move from home to home three times. Last year Ralph bought me one of the best gifts I have ever received - an Air Force Plaque (I have been out of the service for over 25...

My dearest cousins,
No words can express the sadness and loss our family feels. We spent our lives growing up next door to eachother, having popcorn on movie night, and Christmas morning breakfast at your dinner table. We were more like brothers and sisters living in separate houses next to eachother. Butternut Lane was as close to paradise as you could get on earth. I am so sad for the loss we all must suffer. I grieve for Jen and Liz and cannot imagine your pain. You are all in our...

Dear Cousins,
I can't express my sorrow enough for the loss of Ralphie, such a shame. But know that he is with Gus and Josie and now Dennis (probably in a heated discussion with him right now)..My prayers are with you all....

I've known Ralph since I was 11 yrs. old and am now 25. He always treated me like a daughter and when I lived in the same apartment building as him he always protected as a father. I will always miss playing Dutch Blitz with he and Laura, and always beating him...hee hee! And going to get gas and Krispy Kreme donuts and pretending he was "Niles the Chauffer"! Ha ha! Always good times! I miss him and love him dearly! Can't wait to walk the streets of gold with him in heaven! Jesus Saves!

Deepest sympathy to the Lordi Family for their very sad loss.

I was the Adminstrative Assistant to Ralph's dad, Gus Lordi at Merkert Enterprises and he spoke often of his children and grandchildren and was so proud of each and everyone of you.

May the beautiful memories of Ralph be a source of comfort at this time.

Jo, lovely lady thinking of you.

Sincerely,

Dear Ralph, You were a gift on this earth. Keep watching and smiling down on all of us from your place in heaven.
