Ralph was my belated husband George's dearest friend. Every year Ralph would send us a beautiful Christmas Card with a handwritten note. At least once a year for almost two decades we traveled up to Philly from Florida. We would always make time to hangout. Most of the time we had lunch at the Marcus Hook Diner. Our conversations would go for hours and always end with the statement, "we'd see each other again". Ralph loved his niece, and she would make the time to call him each week. I apologize that I cannot recall her name at this time. I remembered she helped organize his home. Ralph was so good to the Mancini Family, Jack and Marshall. When Marshall became ill it was Ralph who kept us informed and was a dear friend to Marshall. Ralph always had a story, especially when it came to Marcus Hook. He loved life and his smile was contagious. My deepest condolences to those who call him friend, loved one and family. Ralph was a one-of-a-kind guy, from a generation when men earned respect and honor. He most definitely earned my respect and honor. He is, and will always be missed.

Condolences on the passing of this wonderful man. One of my mom's many cousins, he was a Marcus Hook historian. I greatly enjoyed listening to his many stories. He will be sorely missed.
