Ralph, My old friend from Jr. and Sr. High school. I could tell tons of stories about our escapades,summers in Ocean City, riding the train to philly on report card day,playing football,and just plain having fun in our teen years. Ralph was a great guy and a loyal friend. Rest in peace Ralph and God bless you.

Ralphie was my uncle and played a huge role in my everyday life... My uncle was someone I could always depend on and someone I deeply cared about. I think about Ralphie every single day and miss him so much.. I just want everyone to know how much I loved him because it is something I never use to say. Thank you, Ralphie for always being there for me and helping mom mom the way you did.
