Ralph passed away peacefully on November 7, 2017 at the age of 85. Preceded in death by his loving wife, Laverne Wolney Friso. Loving godfather to Kim Jacobson and special companion to Virginia (Ginny) Lokometzki, who passed within six weeks following his death.

Ralph was a spunky person, who at times could be grumpy and irascible while sharing love to those who surrounded him. He was deeply religious having been raised in an orphanage run by the Carmelite Sisters in Milwaukee.

The family would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to the caregivers at the Milwaukee VA Hospital and the loving staff at St. Anne’s Salvatorian Campus.

A Memorial Mass in his name will be held in the chapel at St. Anne’s Salvatorian Campus, 3800 N. 92nd St., Milwaukee, WI, on Saturday, January 27 beginning at 10:30 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to a charity of your choice.
