Mrs. Rotondo and Family, We were very sad to hear that Coach Rotondao had passed on. Ralph was the first coach to make an impact on my life as a young man. My dad and I would like to pass on our thoughts and prayers to the family.

Although I had not seen Ralph in many years, I have fond memories of him in his younger years when he was a close friend of my late husband, Bob.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and just know he will live on forever in the hearts of all that knew and loved him.

Rotondo family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Rotondo's passing. My thoughts, as well as those of my mother and father are with you. Mr. Rotondo passed on many life lessons to those that he touched, even if just for a short moment. Spirit of competition, good sportsmanship and the importance to give back to the community are some for which I am thankful. He will be missed and our thoughts are with you and your families.

To the Rotondos,
Ralph was an icon in every sense of the word. He was that to his parents, his wife, his children, his in-laws, his grandchildren, and to those he just passed by along the way. He was a tremendous being who made the most out of life and gave his all to it. You will always have a hole in your hearts with him gone on this earth, but it will be filled with the warm memories, the good times, and the fond remembrances of him. He has not left you, he has only gone to another place, and a place he will always be watching over you. So, keep him with you with you in your hearts, and he will never be gone. There will still be times that you need Ralph, and in those times, he will always be by your sides. Memories and faith is what keeps people with you always.
With sincere sympathy and condolences, Kelly Doyle and Kyle and Ryan Bulkley

Dear Mary & Family,
We're so sorry to hear about Ralph. Growing up on Alice Street and trying to follow his footsteps from Shelton School to the North end Boys Club to Bullard Havens was a tough act to follow. Ralph was always a wonderful guy and always there for everyone. I was so blessed to have him as a friend. Ginny and I will miss him dearly and send our condolences to the whole family. God Bless you all......Love Bob and Ginny Verrilli

Dear Mrs. Rotondo, Jim, Tom, Chris and Rob,
I just returned in town from a business trip and was devastated to learn of the passing of your father. I'm very sorry that I wasn't available to offer my condolences to you in person. As you all know, your dad was a wonderful person, a role model for all and a heck of a coach too. On behalf of the entire Murphy clan I offer our deepest sorrow and sympathies to all of you.
May he rest in peace and may you be comforted by the wonderful memories and examples that he set for everyone that came in contact with him...
Sincerely,
Mike Murphy

Dear Mary & family, I am so shocked & sorry to read about Ralph's passing. I know it's been many years since we've seen each other, but that doesn't mean you were never thought of. Ralph helped get me hired at SNET 30 years ago, & I'm still here (although a different name & company). All I can say at a time like this is I hope all your friends heartfelt sympathy's help get you through this difficult time & you can be thankful that he was part of your life & loved by so many. Maybe he's visiting with my mom & dad, and other family & friends who've gone before him. That's helped me through times like this. You'll all be in my prayers. Love, Ginny (McCarn) Lawler

I was very sad when I received an e-mail telling me that Ralph had passed on. Ralph was my supervisor in the maintainance dept at SNET-CO, and was the best supervisor ever. We were both navy men and liked to talk about time in the navy. I will miss him, as will all who came in contact with him through the years. Fair winds and following seas my friend.

Mr. Rotondo was such a great guy. He cared so much about his kids and Mrs. Rotondo and many times treated me like I was one of his own, looking out for my best interests and imparting wisdom whether I wanted it or not. I didnt know it at the time, but it was always spot on. I would see him a few times a year around Shelton and it always made me feel good to see him. I will miss that. Mrs. Rotondo, Jimmy, Tommy, Chris and Robby you have my and my familys deepest condolences. My parents also send their condolences from Florida as they have so many great memories of our families together and all the times when my dad and Mr.Rotondo coached together for all those years.

Having him as a Little League coach almost 30 years ago helped shape who I am today. I may not remember the words he used, but I will never forget the way he made me feel. He will be greatly missed, this I am sure of.
