In loving memory of Ralph DeFilippo. He lived hard, and loved wisely. We will remember you forever!
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."
He loved my sister as no one ever had. They enjoyed every day of their life together. His enthusiasm was contagious. His heart was huge!
For me, he will always be across the dinner table holding forth—laughing.
He was such a hard working man who loved his garden and his trains.
He also loved Kathy with his whole heart ❤️.
They were the perfect couple.
Ralph could be so funny, we always enjoyed spending time together.
Oh lest I forget Ralph, made the best salad you ever wanted to eat.
Love and Miss You Always, Dear Cuz.

The car guy
I had been told many times that I had to meet this really cool man with a special car. The day finally came. He hugged me and said come in your welcome, but he's (my boyfriend) is tolerated. Ralphs sense of humor always made me laugh. Ralph was so welcoming and opened his life up to me right away. What pride he took in his car. Then at Christmas, I felt like it was the north pole at his house. Ralph didn't just do Christmas, Ralph was Christmas! I always loved to visit. Especially when his gardens were in bloom. I always thought he was a slave to his yard, now I know it was the other way around. We all had many good laughs together. If he needed anything, we all jumped. What a good man with a big heart!
