Ralph J. Wendoloski, age 67, passed away unexpectedly Monday, August 12, 2024, after a day of enjoying one of his favorite pastimes…playing golf. He was the beloved husband and best friend of Suzanne (Robberson) Wendoloski to whom he shared 42 years of marriage.
Born in Warwick, he was the son of the late John Wendoloski and Beatrice M. (Hamilton) Becker. He was the devoted father of Nathan J. Wendoloski and Jason N. Wendoloski (wife, Stephanie O’Donnell) and the cherished ‘Pappy’ of Isla and Rhys.
Ralph was a man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. In his younger years he was a commercial shell fisherman in Narragansett Bay where he was known as ‘The Waz.’ He was a longtime welder for General Dynamics, after which he became an Oil Delivery Man. He loved playing cribbage with his wife, listening to music and watching his favorite sports teams whether it be the New York Yankees, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins and New England Patriots. He shared his love for sports as a basketball coach and soccer coach for the Warwick Boys & Girls Club. He took great pride in his yard, especially his vegetable gardens that were also filled with his favorite flowers, Dahlias. In the last few years, he had taken up the sport of golf and often played at Harbor Lights Golf Course where he also worked as a Ranger. More than anything, he loved spending time with his grandchildren and his Friday night dinners out with his wife and their friends.
A Visitation will be held Friday, August 16, 2024, from 4-7pm in the Thomas & Walter Quinn Funeral Chapel, 2435 Warwick Ave., Warwick. Golf attire encouraged.
