Been listening and laughing at, and with, Ralph Cirella for almost 35 years. Been listening to the Stern Show about 40 years. My downstairs neighbor was from N.Y. and he got all of the shows recorded on VHS tapes and sent to us in L.A., years before the Stern Show was broadcast here.
We installed a 25-foot sattelite dish, so we could see all the Channel 9 shows. Ralph did all the effects make-up and became Howard's stylist and best friend until his recent passing. If you guys haven't seen the Channel 9 shows, they're on the net and they are hysterical.
Yeah. Big, unexpected shocker. I cried. Living with terminal cancer, myself.
Bye, Ralphy, boy. R.I.P. brother.

I think Sal is going to try and channel Ralph in the future. I truly believe real mediums, I am not sure how good Sal really is at it these days. Buts Sal is correct in that it takes a while before a departed loved one learns the ropes to communicate to us. Last year we were with a medium after my sister passed away and she was buzzing around pretty fast shortly after she died, but this year it was much more relaxed and much better communication with my sister.
Thanks for the great story, I hope everything goes well with you and your battle, I have followed your posts for a few years and the positivity goes a long way, all the best.

Sad news indeed. Gil was a great driver and a class act. Got to see him race live at the Toronto Indy several times. He raced hard, but was held in high regard by all that knew him. I guess it could be said he died doing what he loved, but he was far too young. May he rest in peace...

RIP, Gil. You were a great driver. You were way too young to go.
