Dear family and friends of Ralph,
On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans, and having recently been informed, we offer our sincere condolences at Ralph´s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are always saddened whenever a fellow "Bubblehead" departs on Eternal Patrol. He served with honor on the USS Catfish SS-339, USS Lionfish SS-298, USS Cobbler SS-334, USS Sea Leopard SS-483, USS Tusk SS-426 and USS Ethan Allen SSBN/SSN-608.
To our "Brother-of-the-Phin" we say, "Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas." Thank you for your service to our country.
To the family... "may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ESV).
Jim Sandman, FTC(SS) Ret,
National Chaplain, USSVI.

I have fond memories of Mr. & Mrs. Coviello & Gino's Restaurant from when I was a teenager and a friend of Ralph's. My sympathy goes out to the whole Coviello Family.
