Ralph De Filippo was born in Brooklyn, New York on January 18th, 1960. Ralph was the most devoted family man. The beloved husband of 43 years to his wife Marianne, amazing father to his children Jaclyn, Rodney, Christine, Alyssa and Martin, and the best Pop to Rocco, Jaden and Mickey. He was the man everyone wanted to be friends with and he never met a stranger that didn’t become a friend for life. Ralph was a huge sports fanatic with his memorabilia collection surpassing that of the Hall of Fame. As a life long fan of the New York Rangers, the New York Mets and the Dallas Cowboys, he was no stranger to disappointment. Ralph was a butcher for 50 years and loved what he did.

In true Ralph fashion, he fought the biggest fight of his life to the very end. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his wife and three daughters on October 3, 2024.
