Ralph J. Palazzo, 79, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away on May 2, 2020 surrounded by his family at home.  Born in Niagara Falls, he was the son of the late Onofrio and Rose (Brindisi) Palazzo.

Ralph received his GED while he proudly served his country in the US Army as a Radio Repairman from 1957 until his honorable discharge in 1960.    Following the military, he had a radio repair shop where he installed Motorola radios and antennas.  He then worked for over 30 years as a Lineman for the New York State Power Authority until his retirement in 2004.

Ralph enjoyed taking care of others and was always there for his family.  He loved hosting July 4 ^th picnics and holiday parties.  Ralph also loved coaching NWAA football and Town of Niagara Baseball in the 1970's.

Ralph is survived by his loving children, Dr. Ronald Palazzo, Angela (Blake) Bowers, and Terrie Palazzo; four grandchildren, Ana, Sam, Elaina and Kirsten.  He was predeceased by his first wife, Janet Luchese.  He is also survived by his brothers, Eugene (Sandy) Palazzo, James (Filomena) Palazzo and Danny Palazzo; his second wife, Kathy, and his stepchildren Frank and Jackie, as well as his step grandson Joey.  He will also be remembered by his cousins, nieces and nephews.

Due to recent circumstances, funeral services and interment in St. Joseph's Cemetery with Military Honors will be held privately for the family.  In lieu of flowers, memorial offerings may be made to Holy Family Parish at Mt. Carmel Church.  Ralph would also request that in his memory you would complete an act of kindness towards another person.  Arrangements by M.J.
