Ralph Parente

I had the privilege of chatting with Ralph on numerous occasions in the faculty lounge at QCC. I would run into him in between classes and he was always sociable, engaging and pleasant. A warm, gentle soul. Teaching into his nineties---He did what he loved. God Bless him.

Our hearts are broken but how blessed we are to have this magical man in out lives for two decades. This brilliant man with a sense of humor and life. Joseph Our deepest sympathies so glad we saw each other recently. Aloha Pumehana Love and Warmth..A Hui Hou still we meet again to feel joyous

RALPH will be deeply missed, Ralph was a kind and sweet man,always concerned and pleasant to all of us at DiIorio's.So sorry Joseph. We will miss Ralph. Our condolences.

Although I didn't know Ralph, I heard many stories about him from my sister who was his student at Anna Maria College. I am sorry for your loss and I will always remember him. He was memorable.

I was sorry to read of Ralph's passing. The obituary is lovely and captures his spirit well. I have fond memories of conversations with Ralph, one of the kindest gentlemen I've ever met. It was my good fortune to work with him at QCC.
With sympathy,
Susan Laprade, QCC

I'm very sorry to hear of Ralph's passing. Ralph was my professor at Anna Maria in the 1970s. He was an awesome mentor and a wonderful, kind person. I have very fond memories of my time with him then. Wishing all his family the very best.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. As the days and weeks pass, Joseph, I hope you find peace in knowing that Ralph lived a wonderful life and had you to thank for being part of it.
