Ralph R. Nobile

Heartfelt condolences to Christine and Vinny. I have fond memories of Ralph and lively conversations with him. It was a privilege to spend time with the Nobile family in their welcoming home.

I have know Ralph Nobile for as long as I can remember. He was truly an amazing man that lit up the whatever room he entered. Our families spent every Christmas Eve and day together for a great many years and these are memories I have cherished. Whether Ralph was leading the after dinner music jam session or telling the story of The Night Before Christmas in English and Italian it was always a great time. One of my favorite memories is the Christmas Eve it snowed and everyone had to spend the...

Ralph & I became good friends 4 1/2 years ago when I moved into the same apartment complex where he lived. I enjoyed his company, hearing about his life, his adventures as a pianist, & listening to him play the piano. He met my grandson, Malcolm, & was taken with his intelligence & exuberance. Malcolm came with me several times to visit Ralph when he was living at Brighton Gardens. They had some great conversations. I will miss you, Ralph. I hope you're playing piano up there in Heaven.

Dear Vin, my deepest condolences to you, your mom, and your family. Your dad was a generous, warm hearted, and very special man.

As a friend of Vinny, I got to know Mr. N. He was a true gentleman with a jovial and welcoming demeanor. When he sat down at the piano his enjoyment shone through, and he sounded great. Much love to Mrs. N, Vinny and the whole family.

As my dear friend Richard´s Dad, Ralph always made comments that made me literally laugh out loud as a teenager. Aside from his keen sense of humor he was a musician for musicians. A true master and host. Condolences to Christine, Vinny and family. xoxo
