J and Graziella send our condolences. Mr Catalano was a great guy and we were lucky to spend a little time with him at the lake house. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Catalano family.

God Bless,

J and G

There should be high school and college courses called, "How to Be as Good a Man as Ralph Catalano" - and attendance should be mandatory for every boy in America. The loss of this soft-spoken, funny, compassionate, hard-working, humble man is felt by all who knew him for more than a minute, because that was all it took.
Love and prayers to the Mother of God, Queen of Peace, for all my Catalano aunts, uncles and cousins.
Maggie (loving daughter of Sis and Mike Catalano)

Our deepest sympathy to the Catalano Family,
Ralph was a wonderful fellow and dear friend. When my late husband Carmine and I wed back in 1955, Ralph was one of our very special groomsmen. Throughout the years, we have had many warm thoughts and remembrances of Ralph and his family. We know your loss of such a wonderful husband and father and family man is deeply heartfelt by all of you. Know my family and I keep you in our prayers
Mrs Rose Bartolo and daughter, Ann Marie and Maryann
