In loving memory of Raffaele Albano

Raffaele Albano, a beloved father, family man, husband, esteemed coworker, caring friend to many and valued member of our community tragically passed away on February 17th at the young age of 48. The sudden loss has been felt by so many of us and has left us looking for ways we can support Giulia, Emma and Luca. I have started the gofundme campaign to support his children's future and this support will help the family to take the time to grieve this unbearable loss.

Raffaele, or as many of you know him as "Ralph" or "Raff" was a beautiful soul. He was married for 19 years to Giulia who he loved dearly and was father to Luca and Emma who were his pride and joy. His family was always his top priority. He was the loudest cheerleader at every event, the silly uncle at every party and the most respectable person to everyone he met-young and old. If you needed anything you know you could count on him to give a helping hand. Raffaele was an esteemed coworker, who loved training and helping his fellow peers to succeed. He loved being involved in potlucks and was always open to trying and learning about different cultures. He was a spiritual man, who trusted God to look after his family and instilled religion and spiritual healing in his children. As a former St. Mike's grad, his connection to his friends will remain in our hearts forever.

Raffaele will be sorely missed by so many. His daily affirmations, jokes, and videos on Instagram and Facebook were loved by many. Our goal is to help alleviate some financial burden enabling the children to focus on healing. Any contribution no matter how small will make a significant difference in their lives.

With Love and Gratitude,

The Albano Family
