I was saddened when I heard about Ralph’s passing. He was my first boss at Continental Bank as well as my mentor and friend.
To his wife, children and grandchildren, my sincerest condolences and may Ralph rest in peace. He was a rare individual on this planet – a good hearted man.
Thank you for your kind words Gene
Diane, Dawn and the entire Delgado Family- We were heartbroken hearing of Ralph’s death. He was the best man at out wedding 40 years ago in September and a dear dear friend to me and Joe.
He would tease me unmercifully but I always knew it was with love. He was a GREAT mentor to many and one of the smartest people I ever met at Continental and Bank of America. He will truly be missed.
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
I was so heartbroken to hear of Ralph passing. I worked with Ralph at Continental/Bank of America he was the go to person(the man) to get answers on something you couldn’t figure out. Yolanda (Yogi), and the entire Delgado family may GOD give you strength to get thru this difficult time. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL
Thank you Juanita
We are saddened by the loss of Ralph. We worked together for many years and enjoyed many competitive years as team mates on the softball diamonds of Grant Park. He was a true friend and always willing to help his co-workers without hesitation. He will missed by all who knew him. Our deepest condolences to Yolanda, his children and grand- children and his entire family.
Thank you
Thank you Vito. He definitely loved his games every week at the park. Great Memories that I too cherish. He touched so many people.
My wife Susan and I send our deepest condolences to the entire Delgado family. Ralph was a great guy and one of my favorite people at Continental Bank. I was fortunate to know him as a team mate as well on on many softball teams! He will be missed!
Thank you Joe. Yes many many nights at Grant Park playing ball shared with you. I too will forever cherish those times.
So sorry to hear about my cousin Ralph’s passing.
My deepest condolences to the whole Delgado family, may Ralph Rest In Peace.
There are certain people that come into your lives and can make you better for knowing them. Ralph was one of those people. Terri and I were truly blessed to have had Ralph be a part of us. Having him stand up to our wedding 33 years ago was truly an honor for us as well. He was the ultimate example of what a true friend really means. We shared so many treasured memories together. We had many laughs and shared many beers together. I will miss calling you an “old man” and having you tell me that “I was a pain in your ass”. I only wish I could have had one more “cold one” with with you and see that smiling face. You will always be in our hearts and you will never be forgotten. You touched so many lives and the world was a better place because you were in it. We will miss you my friend. Rest in peace.
Thank you very much for you kind and sharing your your memories.
Thank you Frank. You n Terri meant so very much to my Daddy.
