My heart goes out to the entire Luciano family. I've known Lello for 35 years and have so many childhood memories. My husband & sons had the pleasure of meeting Ralph about 8 years ago when he became more than just their barber. Ralph was always smiling even when my little terror would drive him crazy. Our conversations were always the best, so many laughs. It was & will always be an honor... Rest in peace.

Ralph was truly an exceptional person and friend. He would accommodate me with his busy schedule knowing as a physician my schedule was always tight. We had many 6:30 am haircuts. He was like a brother to me and his advice was always precious. May God rest his soul and grant comfort and peace to his beloved family. He will be truly missed!

Ralph wasn't just my barber, he was my therapist all throughout high school. I haven't had my haircut on a weekly basis since leaving NJ because I never needed a weekly haircut to begin with.....I just looked forward to my time in Ralph's chair and therefore frequented the salon. He was always an ear to listen and in turn provided great conversation and valuable advice. I honestly can't imagine those years without him in my life and it brought a smile to my face every time I'd hear from someone who had seen him recently and they'd tell me he asked about me. He's gone way too soon but that man truly touched a lot of people in the short time he had. Likely more than we'll ever know. My thoughts & prayers are with his family...by far his biggest point of pride.

wow i couldnt believe it when i heard of you passing away. Ralph been cutting my hair since 1981 and he was the best barber around. the best thing was what ever kind of cut you wanted. He will do his best to make it the way you wanted it. He use to cut and shave me and give me custom beard shapes.but the best thing was we use talk in Italian while he would take care of me. When we got older we bought our Mustangs GTs. and we use to hang out. Go to clubs together. Ralph you will be missed my brother. My prayers go out to you and your family. Take care my friend see you later.

Ralph took me under his wing when my life was turned upside down. He 7stood by my side at the salon and in my personal life. He was always there for me whether to cry on his shoulder or when I needed a good laugh. My heart has a hole in it but I am truly blessed to have worked for the most honest, caring, good hearted, loving person I have ever met. To my dear friend Cathy, I love you..to the children, not a day went by your dad didn't tell me how much he loved you. And to the Luciano family, my deepest condolences. II love you Ralph

Many memories with Ralph over the years. Cutting my hair from when I was just a kid on union ave, then coming to my house to cut not only my hair but also my mother and brothers, then to Little Falls. One of the hardest workers I have ever known as well as a great man and friend. My condolences to his family and friends!

Your family has lost the most kind and caring husband, father and son. We can only turn to God to know that Ralph is truly at peace now and believe that he will still be looking out for you - just in a different way. I thank you Ralph for coming into our daughter Donna's life at a time when she really needed someone. You were her rock (like a ad to her boys) and gave her many happy, funny, understanding days and she will miss you terribly. Even though you left too soon in our eyes, know that you left an indelible mark in so many people's lives. Thank you and rest in peace.

I always looked forward to seeing Ralph. We always had funny barbershop conversations. Here are a few things I know about Ralph since I met him in 2005.
1. He’s a family man. There seemed to be nothing he wouldn’t do for his wife and children
2. He was one of the hardest workers I have ever met. Even after being on his feet for 10 hours, he’d always still squeeze you in somehow.
3. He could talk to anyone. He could be silly with the kids, BS with the guys, and chat with the women.
4. He loved to cook.
5. He was great at his craft, there’s a reason he had so many repeat customers.
Ralph will be deeply missed and remembered fondly by many. My prayers are with his family. As my friend Tyler said when hearing the news, “That sucks, Ralph is a legend� He certainly is, and legends never die. RIP Ralph.

Ralph you will be missed, I started coming to you for haircuts over 20 years ago in Totowa, and we would always laugh because either it would be me or one of my 3 children at Ralphaels for a haircut every week! I will miss all of our laughs and talks we had together. You always knew how to calm the children for a haircut "choo-choo train". The best was all of the specialty foods you brought into the Salon at the Holidays which became part of a family tradition. We will all miss you Ralph...God Bless you and your family.

Ralph has been my barber for 29 years. I was devastated by the news. My wife and I were there just this past Saturday with our sons getting haircuts. Ralph, you had amazing patience with my kids, putting on the cartoon channel and telling them the buzzer was a choo-choo train. You also had such patience with me always running late on Friday nights. I will miss the conversations we had. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Rest in peace my friend.

Ralphie cut my hair for 22 years! We shared so many stories over the years of his growing family, vacations, etc. It was a tradition to have "I Love Lucy" on while getting a haircut. We would always comment on how they don't make them like that anymore. I wish his family the most heartfelt condolences. God Bless!
