Hi Hillary,
I was shocked and saddened to find out about your son's passing.  Although I never met "King Ralphie", I have very fond memories of you and your parents and your brother Stevie One of my fondest memories was of you and I and Rona going to Guys With Buys on Avenue X on Saturday, February 8, 1964 the day after the Beatles arrived in America and buying black Beatle "MOP-TOP"  wigs and big lollipops with the Beatles' faces.  Somewhere in Haley's basement is a black-and-white snapshot of the three of us in those goofy wigs.  We played and sang along to your LP "Meet thr Beatles" until we wore it out.  i have lots of memories with you at 3677 Nostrand.  I regret that we lost touch and I never got to meet Ralph.  

They say that the worst loss is for a parent to bury a child and I am thinking  of you and praying for you
Lots of love,
Fern Cohen

Ralph was very special to me and my Family. He will be missed 💙

I worked with Hillary a good number of years at school bus company.His mom Hillary always talked about Ralph she was so proud of him .May he RIP ❤️🙏👍

I’m so sorry to hear that Ralphy is no longer with us. I haven’t seen him since he was a small child and he was such a cute kid with those huge brown eyes. My condolences to Hillary and the rest of the Ikens. Love to you all.


I worked with Ralphy briefly at Petco in Malboro, NJ. He was always incredibly bright, cheerful and a determined man, and it shocked me to hear he passed away so suddenly. I wish his family the best, and that they heal from this traumatic loss. He was gone too soon.


Dear Hillary,
Our deepest condolences to you on the loss of your son, Ralph. We hope that he rests in peace.
