He was 58.“Ralph developed an illness, but I really feel he got involved a little too late because the illness he got was curable and was treatable, but he had some complications of waiting too long, and I got very upset with him,” Stern revealed on his show Wednesday.“I think this is the toughest part of loving someone — when you lose them/ Lord knows I loved Ralph.” “I was not ready for Ralph to go,” he heartbrokenly continued. “I was not expecting Ralph to die.”“I just have been so sad and so angry,” the broadcaster said, admitting he is taking the loss “very hard.”“He didn’t take care of himself,” Stern added about his pal of more than 40 years.
The Post previously contacted reps for Stern for comment.Stern credited Cirella for getting him to leave the house and go to a party where he would meet his now-wife, Beth Ostrosky.“My wife said to me last night, ‘You and Ralph have a secret language’ and it’s true … we had a great chemistry, and we had a great friendship, and Ralph was one of my bros.
