Brother Ralph was my fathers cousin. With his passing, only my father and one other cousin from that generation remain. I remember him fondly and his kindness was a brilliant light. Clearly devoted to our Lord, I pray that he may now enjoy eternal rest and that perpetual light shines upon him.

Brother Ralph was a wonderful Marianist who served at Holy Rosary Church.
He helped the needy in the parish or any place he saw the need. He was
fluent in Spanish and spoke to everyone as family or close friend. He loved to pray with music and was loved by everyone who met him. He loved his vocation and he will be sorely missed. God Bless you Brother Ralph; we shall miss you but will see you again one day. Rest in Peace!
