“Family Man, Sports Guy, Fun-Loving- Good Friend”
Ralph Vicidomini, 68, of Nutley, passed away Friday, May 7, 2021 surrounded by his family at home. Born in Newark, Ralph was the son of the late Arnold and Grace (Graziano) Vicidomini, living most of his life in Nutley. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard. He retired after 39 years of working for the U.S. Post Office.
Ralph is survived by his beloved wife, Joanne (DeGiacomo) Vicidomini, his children, daughter Layne Yost and her husband Michael, and his son Mark Vicidomini; a brother Arnold Vicidomini and his wife Lucy; and a grandchild Angelo Ralph Yost.
The funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Mary’s Church in Nutley on Wednesday, May 12th at 10:30am.

Ralph will be remembered as a man with an intuitive gift to connect with people of all interests. Sports fans appreciated Ralph’s keen knowledge of statistics, as well as his understanding of the nuances of the game. Ralph was a formidable contender in his youth.
Ralph loved social gatherings. He enjoyed being at home or large parties or at quiet dinners with friends. He loved good food and conversation. Ralph was an attentive listener with the ability to put people at ease. His non-judgmental demeanor was easy to embrace.
With an understated and modest personality, Ralph was always there to lend a hand. Best friends Lou and Sue Graziano, Ann Marie Graziano, and the late Louis Graziano, and Vicki and Tom Schodowski would agree that Ralph was a special man.
As a husband, father, and grandfather, Ralph aimed to please. His grandson meant the world to him. The bands of love with Joanne and his children are deep and he will be forever missed.
