So sorry for your loss. Ralph is a great guy. The Palladino family is in my thought and prayers. I had a lot of good times hanging out with Ralph and Mike when we were teenagers.

Barb: I shall never forget the years of long ago when we shared maternity outfits befor the birth of our sons, your Anthony and my Joe, your Ralph and my Jim, and then your Mike, and my Janeen...and then, I remember saying, "You can keep these clothes, I'll not need them again. Barb your love from God was boundless... you had additional precious boys. You and I have been so blessed. I do not have your address as my last notes to you have been returned...but I wanted to tell you that your family is in my prayers and my heart is with you! If I could see you, I believe we would pause for a long time, and thank the Lord for all he has done for your wonderful family. I think of you more often than you could possibly know...even though our lives have gone separate ways...I shall always remember when you and Anthony, Joe and I, were close families...so many, many years ago. God has blessed our lives with our children. I am so glad Joe and Christy and Jim and Andrea could be with your family during this time. There are certainly times when I wish I lived a little closer...but for now, it is not to be! I pray God's comfort upon you and your family! One thing we know is that Jesus said he went to heaven to send us the comforter! He knew we could not survive without the comforter. What blessings are yours when we think of not only our Savior waiting for you, but your precious son, Ralph. It is my understanding Andrea gave you my phone number. I shall look forward to one day...you calling...just to chat like we did so many, many years ago. I love you! You'll continue to be in my prayers! God bless you. Your sister-in-law and even greater, your sister-in-Christ, Janie

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. I enjoyed working with Ralph here in Kansas City in the old Hy-Vee days when he was with Taylor. I'll always remember the turkey hunt we went on in North Missouri " put the wood to 'em". Ralph was a great man and will be truly missed.

To my Iowa neighbor... thank you for all your laughter and your loving "bullying". I have no doubt you're coaching, building, ATV-riding, laughing and throwing balls to all dogs in heaven.
You are a rare honorable man and I will miss you. I will think of you with every cup of coffee.
My best to Rocky's family... a lifetime of hugs, kisses, and laughter in his honor.

Rocky was one of a kind. He was truly devoted to his family and his friends. He had the kindest heart. He loved his Jake, always sharing pictures of some of the funniest pictures of him.
He will sorely missed by everyone who knew him. He touched everyone with his infectious laughter and quick wit. May he have all the pizza, ice cream, and root beer he wants!
To the Palladino family, I extend my deepest condolences to your entire family.

We want to send our condolences to the family of Ralph from the old Taylor gang from Kansas City. I was very sad to hear about Ralph's passing, I always enjoyed working with Ralph for the several years he commuted down here to help us out.
