Ralph Minopoli

When I think of Ralph and Mary, I'm reminded of the walks they often took together. Mary was always in the lead with Ralph following close behind. How many times a day they walked I never noticed. The salt pond was only a half mile away so it never took long. again.

Many happy memories about Ralph with Mary walking beside him, while going to the pond to check on things. Blessed to live near them, blessed to be called friends, blessed to "remember". RIP Ralph.

Mr. Minopoli was my high school chemistry teacher at Roger Ludlowe H.S. during my sophomore year, 1978-79. He had a reputation for being tough, but his students liked him. I just heard of his passing. My condolences to his family.

We were very saddened of the news of Ralph´s passing. The loss of such a remarkable man marks one of the most profound rites of passage in life. He was a very intelligent and gentle man who has a legacy of several equally brilliant grandchildren and a great-granddaughter. He raised an amazing daughter Elene who has taken exceptionally good care of him and her mother in her home. It was there that we would share the holidays and special occasions with Ralph, where he enjoyed stimulating...

Rest in peace Mr. Minopoli - across the street Charlestown, RI neighbor for many years. You shared your wisdom and gentleness with all of us and we appreciate you.

Ralph and I were colleagues at RLHS for many dears. He was devoted to his students and enjoyed teaching. Ralph had a quiet sense of humor and a great smile. My condolences to the family. Rest In Peace, Ralph.

So happy you came to Christmas dinner at Russell and Natalie's home just weeks before. You presided as the patriarch of the family and shared and enjoyed our feast and made sure to drink all the beer and good drink with all of us! You passed from this world to the next, peacefully on January 8 in my home in Trumbull CT. Of course you picked a day that a great scientist also passed away upon, Galileo who was born on February 15, close to your February 13. We all miss your guiding wisdom....

I am grateful for having such a wonderful neighbor and friend for 15 years and will miss the quiet and enjoyable times we spent together. Bless your soul Ralph. You were a great man.
