Most of my memories of Uncle Ralph are visual. I can see him laughing out loud with all of his brothers and sisters who were my aunts and uncles and of course with my father. My father was his big brother. As a family, we celebrated holidays together eating and playing cards and having fun. His children Lorraine, Mark, and Joel were loved by all because they were so cute and sweet and fun and good hearted - all three

Most of my memories of Uncle Ralph are visual. I can see him laughing out loud with all of his brothers and sisters who were my aunts and uncles and of course with my father. My father was his big brother. As a family, we celebrated holidays together eating and playing cards and having fun. His children Lorraine, Mark, and Joel were loved by all because they were so cute and sweet and fun and good hearted - all three of them. We lost Joel too soon. Lorraine and Mark continue to be loving adult children. Aunt Madaline and my mother along with Aunt Agnes were bonded as the in-laws in this very tight Italian family. May Uncle Ralph rest in peace. May Lorraine and Mark have peace of mind knowing they were a very good daughter and son.

My uncle always had a smile on his face and a joke in his pocket.
My heart goes out to his children Lorraine and Mark.
