Ralph was a lover of dancing, video production, classic cars, and music. The Illinois native was raised in the western suburbs of Chicago and enjoyed being part of Boy Scouts for a majority of his childhood. After graduating high school and completing technical school, Ralph began his career in “jack-of-all-trades” as some would say. Ralph was eager to learn and had many passions. He worked in a variety of fields including, but not limited to, computer coding, automotive customization, and video production.
Ralph met Susan DeLuca, nee Lundy in 1990 while filming her cousin’s wedding. In true Ralph fashion, he asked Susan to dance. They married a year later and moved to Hinsdale. Two years later, they welcomed their only child, Lindsey Anne, who instantly had Ralph wrapped around her finger.
Fond memories for Ralph, Susan, and Lindsey include family vacations, endless dancing, and sushi dinners to celebrate special occasions.
Ralph is survived by his beloved wife Susan DeLuca, nee Lundy; daughter Lindsey DeLuca; siblings JoAnna (Ken) Ruggles, Julie (Cody) Eisenbraun, Frank DeLuca; several nieces and nephews; loving parents Ralph J. DeLuca, Sr. and Isa DeLuca, nee Romanelli.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, uncles, and cousins.
