I started working for Ralph when I was a young kid out of college. He was not only my boss but became a good friend. We used to go to the doggies quite often and enjoy giving away our money. A few years ago we re-connected and the past few years we were able to go out to lunch each year before he headed back to Florida. He was a truly kind and generous man. I will miss him and his funny e-mails. To his wife and family, my deepest regrets. I am so glad we were able to spend some time together these past few years.RIP my friend, I will miss you.Bob Peruzzotti

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Uncle Ralph, he was my hero growing up. I will never forget the good times we had at Howard Street. How Aunt Shirley and Uncle Ralph looked after Pat when I was in Vietnam. Uncle Ralph was a very special person and will be missed by many. Aunt Shirley, my love and thoughts go out to you and if I can do anything to help you please let me know. Love and Condolences.

As I sit here and look at Ralph's photo, so many memories fill my mind. Ralph and I shared a love of fishing and music. Ralph and Shirley introduced us to Florida back in 1967. He was my confidant and mentor. I always went to him for advise and considered him a big brother. He always had that big beautiful smile and the most perfect gentleman I ever met. God speed old friend.Joe Aloe

Dear Shirley and Family, Words can never express the sorrow we feel with Uncle Ralph's passing. Even though we haven't been together for awhile there were many years that we were, I truly miss those times. I often think of the times in your kitchen (in Waterford) when Ralph was trying to teach me the twist!! I just couldn't get it but he didn't give up. I will never forget Fort Myers and the fun we all had.It was one of the best years of my life with you guys.There were some bad times too but we got through them together, don't know what I would have done without you both.Were did the time go? I wish there was something I could do to help you Shirley you are always on my mind. If any of you need anything please don't hesitate to let me know. I love you all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Its be said that it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them. Ralph Iorlano had touched many hearts and will sincerely be remembered. R.I.P. Ralphie……….
