Ralph Mando Ferioli, Jr.
Ralph was born November 28, 1951 in Albany, Georgia to Mary Jane (Crews) and Ralph Ferioli. He passed peacefully on January 5, 2016.
He was a loving son, brother, friend, coach and a devoted father, known for his caring heart, gentle soul and generous spirit. Respected and loved by all who knew him, he offered the same in return.
Ralph graduated in 1969 from CM Russell High School in Great Falls, MT. He entered the Air Force in 1971, serving four years during the Vietnam era and spent sometime overseas in Germany. He attended Metro State College studying computer programming. He began his career with AFAFC/DFAS in 1975 and worked there for over 30 years retiring as a computer programmer.
Ralph played baseball during his younger years and accumulated many awards as a pitcher. He loved to bowl, golf, water ski, shoot pool, brew beer, play pinball, video games, garden, attend sporting events, concerts and he listen to a wide variety of music. But his greatest love was helping coach Lindsey's competitive fast pitch softball teams; nothing gave him greater joy then working with Lindsey and her teammates.
He is survived by his daughter, Lindsey; father, Ralph; brother, Stanley (Marlene); niece, Melissa (Sean Greco) and his beloved dog, Rocco. He is preceded in death by his mother, Mary Jane. He is lovingly remembered by his softball "girls" and parents, in addition to close friends.
