Dear Beverly and Family,
We send you our deepest sympathy. We have so many wonderful memories through the years of you and Ralph and of the whole Strobel Clan. Ralph worked hard to provide the best life he could for the family he loved so much. The love and friendship between the families of two sisters, Molly Barthulli Strobel and Rose Barthulli Fanos, is a precious and enduring gift.
Love and Prayers,
The Fanos Family

I remember every time the team I played on in softball and we would play Ralph's team I knew we were going to have a fun game. Ralph use to give me a look when I was up to bat and then chuckle and throw a brush back pitch to me. Ralph was a very good friend to me and my family, it was an honor to know him. Thank you Ralph for all the memories from my childhood to my adulthood.
