Ralph was a talented hair stylist known throughout R.I. He served as President of the Rhode Island Hairdressers Association for many years. He traveled throughout New England, U.S, and Puerto Rico for hair show competitions and won many of them. He formerly owned Coiffurium Hair Salons in Warren, Johnston, and Providence. He recently owned Scott's Studio. He also owned Hair Fashion Development Center School of Hairdressing in North Providence where he enjoyed sharing his talent and knowledge with his students. He encouraged them to pursue their dreams of becoming salon owners. Ralph loved to travel, especially to Italy where he felt at home.
Ralph was the glue to his family, always hosting holiday dinners. He loved to cook and felt his cooking was better than eating at a restaurant and we all agreed!! He had a heart of gold and helped many throughout his life. He will be remembered for his kindness to others and his outgoing personality which was bigger than life itself. If you met him, you fell in love with him. He will be missed by his family, friends, and clients he has made throughout the years. His dog Lexie, who brought much joy to his life, still sits waiting and watching for him to come home...
