Ralph Ricciardi, 85 of Bryant, Arkansas passed away on December 13, 2021. Ralph was born in the Bronx, New York on May 6, 1936, to the late Gaetano and Michelena Ricciardi.
Married to his wife, Marilyn for 63 years, he was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
Ralph loved to fish, camp, duck hunt and enjoy family. He usually had his family laughing with his sense of humor. He loved a good dish of pasta, sharing old stories with his family and friends and listening to Frank Sinatra. He was a true Italian!
Most of the time, he would be at the side of his wonderful wife Marilyn as they enjoyed their twilight years.
Along with his parents, he is survived by his daughter, Debra, her husband Kirk and children, Heather, Kim, and Michael. Also, his daughter, Pam and her daughter Rachel. Along with his two brothers, Pat and Alfred Ricciardi.

Mr. Ralph brought a smile to anyone who met him. We were privileged to have known him and will treasure the time we got to spend with him. He missed his wife deeply but he knew he was left behind to draw closer to God. We know that he is rejoicing in heaven and look forward to seeing him again soon. His family was very important to him. Please know how much he spoke of you all and was grateful to have you in his life. Praying for God's comfort during this time.
