Ralph was the youngest son of Tony and Fran Marino, both late of Winthrop. He graduated from Winthrop High School in 1976 where he played varsity football.

He leaves his sister, Paula Smith and her husband, George, his brother, Anthony and his wife, Jan, his sister, Cathy and his “brother from another mother” Andy Levison.
