Ralph “Wolf” was a man who was deeply loved by countless people. He had a larger-than-life personality that would fill a room the minute he walked through the door. Ralph’s passions were music, classic cars and pretty girls. Ralph was the most loyal friend anyone could have whether you’ve known him for a lifetime or for 15 minutes. He was a man of character and integrity, and he loved his family and friends deeply. Ralph was generous and kind. If he saw a need, he met it without thinking about it. His community loved him, and his friends loved him. As a matter of fact, if love itself could have saved Ralph, he would not have left this Earth. If love could have healed Ralph, he would never have been sick. Ralph was a beloved brother and friend; he will be missed by everyone.
Wolf was one-of-a-kind, and his tattoo says it all: “The Crazy Never Die.” RIP dear brother and friend.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 24, at the Pico Rivera VFW, 4865 Durfee Avenue, 4 pm – 9 pm.
