I am positive I will not meet another man like Ralph Tolone, Sr in my lifetime. He was a true Gem. Loving, caring, wise and funny. He always made you feel blessed for being in his presence. Being close friends with Deb and Bob for many many years, I shared many memories with Ralph. Most happy, some sad. Rest easy Ralph, in peace thru Yahshua.
I have an example of why Ralph was just an exceptional man. At a family gathering a couple years ago, we sat together. When he realized that I was the wife of Debbie’s late brother Dean, and that I had come to the party alone, he stayed right with me the whole time. He got my drinks. He escorted me to the buffet. We laughed and talked all evening. Such a gentleman! And oh did he have some incredible stories to tell about his life. He was one-of-a-kind! He was a perfect example of The Greatest Generation. Here’s to you, Ralph! You are unforgettable and I am grateful to have known you.
To Bob and Ralph and your families,
My sincere feelings of your loss at this time. Our families had many good times together back in the day at baseball games and other parties together. I miss your Mom and my Mon together doing their knitting and now your Dad who played golf and bowled with my Dad. Your family is in my thoughts this week and in my prayers tonight.

Uncle Ralph, you were the best. So classy and kind. You always made my family and me feel loved. I feel so blessed to have had the privilege of speaking with you on your last night here on earth, and that I had the chance to say I love you, once more. Thank you for watching over my dad and my mom, and now you are all together. We will miss you forever. Rest in peace.

Going to miss you a whole lot, Uncle Ralph. You were the sweetest uncle anyone could ask for. Thank you for all your help with the GE insurance for my mom & dad. What an ensalad that was!! Your compassion for them went above and beyond...and I will never forget everything you did for them when they were in the nursing home. Rest In Peace, sweet Uncle...

You folks certainly had an inspiring & impressive head of family for quite a few years. Awesome! Very nice obit. But, sorry for your loss & sincere condolences to the family.
Ralph Jr. - not a great way to touch base but good to hear you are still going at it. Your dad certainly led a very interesting & meaningful life. Wish I had opportunity to meet.
