My Heartfelt sympathy to the Pascale family. I wish you strength in these difficult days and hoping that with time, peace will heal and comfort your heart. May God keep you all in the palms of his hands and guide you through this sadness.
Sorry for your loss
My condolences to the Pascale family. Ralph was a quiet spirited man and he was a great neighbor.
We were neighbors for over twenty years and he would help anyone whenever he could. He really worked hard in his yard and had the prettiest lawn on the block. Peggy and Ralph were like my Italian grandparents when I lived cross the street from them. He will be missed!, May God give you strength during your time of need. May God bless you all.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Ralph and I also called each other Brothers. He will be truly missed, but he will always be in our hearts.
You will be missed.We worked together.He was a great man.My condolences.
To Luigi, Nicolas, and Assunta,
My late mother Dolly (Amelia) in Wallingford was a cousin of Ralph's. Now none of his family in Wallingford is still living. But I remember your father and mother coming to family events, and especially delivering his homemade wine. I last saw them when they attended my mother's wake in July, 2013. We are all so sorry that he is gone. We just found out, from cousin Marie. Our prayers are with all of you, for your mother as well, that our good Lord will comfort you.
