We extend our sympathy on the loss of such a friendly, hospitable, and funny man. All of the encounters with Ralph were always enjoyable and even entertaining. He always gave an opinion or thought and was down to earth. His Italian spirit and love of family will be remembered!

Sally you are in my thoughts during this difficult time. Ralph is resting in peace 
Please accept my sincere condolences 
❤️😘😘

God bless you Ralph. I cherished working with you my friend. My day would always be better after you’d come over to say hello and talk with me. Yes. You and I were part of the Publix family, and rightfully so. It is strange that someone can come into another person’s life and it seems like they’ve known each other for a lifetime. That’s how I felt about you Ralph. You are family to me. Along the way, I met Annie, not knowing that she was your daughter, who I love dearly. It is heartbreaking to know that you have left us, but I don’t want to mourn  your departure for ever. I’d rather celebrate it. May God bless your soul my friend. May God give your family strength in this trying time. I love you Ralph. Be at peace.

My dad’s lessons to me were not from a textbook but from a way of life . Dad taught me the value of hard work with qualities like discipline, loyalty, love, devotion, respect, dedication and sincerity. He led by example in everything he did. Wonderful memories is his legacy to me. Dad, I will miss you deeply, but you are in my heart forever. You were simply the BEST.

Dear Uncle Ralph, you who have always been a special person, a man of great generosity and love will always remain in our hearts. (Even if very distant now very close). Heartfelt condolences to all of you Gennaro and Luisa D'Auria with much love🖤😘❤️

I worked with Ralph at Publix, He was an ethical and energetic worker. You would not expect the amount of quality work out of Ralph. I was 6’2 ‘’ 200 lbs and Ralph was maybe 150 lbs and it was difficult to keep up with him. He was even a better person than a worker . I think of him when I might swear, instead I try to follow in his footsteps and say Cheese and crackers instead of using the Lords name in vain

Ralph brought us a few times a year his delicious homemade sausages so for Christmas 2020 we gave him a canvas of his sausages.  He was so very happy & not long after we gave him the matching canvas of the actual meal with peppers & onions.  Ralph, you were part of our lives for so many years & your kindness, warmth, jovial personality as well as the good times will always be a treasured memory.  It is such a great loss now that you are gone & you will be greatly missed by your family & friends.  May you rest in peace our dear friend.

The world has lost an amazing man! 
Ralph, my Italian friend, who introduced me to antipasto, homemade Italian sausages, homemade gingerbread houses and  so much more.  I’ll keep smiling every time I remember you, your hugs and kisses.  Ralph, may you have eternal rest & peace in heaven. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

My dearest condolences  from joe Territo  Ralph was my good friend and my mentor he taught me how to be a butcher many years ago! I will miss him dearly!RIP!

RIP Dear Friend 🙏

Our deepest condolences 

My family and I are expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family as you celebrate the life and memories of your dad Ralph D’Auria. May his memories, his love, his laughter, life lessons and support lives on. May his soul sleep in peace.

I first met Ralph in 1980, and he taught me how to cut meat. We were like family at work.  Ralph was a kind, gentle man, and my wife and I loved him. You will be missed.

Sally & Ralph’s happiest moments.  Their cruises 4 times a year.  I had a really great time with both of you on that cruise.  Ralph, may you rest in peace.  Sally, wishing you strength during this most difficult time.  May you cherish your beautiful memories with your husband who loved you so much & who’s life you made so very happy with you kindness and by just being the wonderful person that you are as well as being a great wife.

Dearest Sally,
You were the love of Ralph’s life & he told us so many times about how you meant the world to him & that he could not imagine his life without you (in all those visits for so many years at our Hair Salon).   Especially when we cruised together &  my goodness he was so very happy with all the cruises you two were able to take together 4 times a year which we know were a wonderful escape to the daily life’s reality at home.  We are so very sorry to hear of your loss.  Ralph was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.  Having been married for 36 years and you both had such a wonderful loving & special relationship is really something to be admired and respected.  How lucky you both were to have been part of one another’s life for so many years.  We are deeply sorry for your loss & wish you strength during this most difficult time.  He is now at peace.  You need to lean on your daughter & son’s wonderful families & their love which will give you strength.  It’s so very sad that lately both of you needed to live your lives separated, which we know was very difficult for both of you, but now he is with you in your heart forever & always.  Our thoughts & prayers are with you & also his immediate family.  With our deepest sympathy.  Love always,  Franco & Suzie Conte

Then and now..... wow a lifetime of loving memories.  Ralph took me and my family in as his own from day one. Ralph used to always tell me when I was younger and had long hair how much he loved long hair.  After telling me that I always received a heart felt hug.  I will see you again grandpa ❤️🙏🏻

Ann and Vinny, I know the emptiness you feel right now but know that he will always be a part of you in every fun and crazy memory you had together.  Growing up in Secaucus, I remember your family always laughing and having fun!  Keep those good times close to your hearts and share them all as much as you can.  One good memory was our successful  Science project with your Dad’s help, of course. What a Precious memory!   So blessed that I was able to visit in 2023.  May he rest in peace.

This is with great sadness as Ralph and his family were part of my family growing up in NJ. As a young boy I used to follow him like a puppy when he cut the lawn. I remember when Antoinette and Vincent were born. I remember how devastated my family was when Marie became ill, sad time for all in the neighborhood. There are so many memories from Ralph and the family. Once they moved to Florida we didn’t have much of any contact but then one Christmas I received a  card from Ralph and Sally I couldn’t believe it then every year thereafter we received a card. They stopped at one point and I was saddened but Antoinette  reached out for me on social media and I had an opportunity to see him just recently. It brought tears to us both. It was a great day we had eating and reminiscing. I’m so thankful for that day.  I feel like I lost a family member as he was truly familia! May god bless that wonderful man!

My deepest sympathy Ann,  Vinny and family!
I will be saying prayers on Thursday as you celebrate your dad ‘s life and legacy.
He was a kind, gentleman who will be greatly missed on earth, but has begun eternal life in Heaven!
My love and prayers,
Patty

Dearest Ann,
