Obituary of Ralph Greco, Jr.

On November 30, 2020, Ralph Greco, Jr., 59, of North Haledon passed on to his eternal home. Ralph was born in Bronx, NY on June 2, 1961 to the late Ralph Greco, Sr. and Olga (Fernandez) Greco. As a child, he shared his passions of playing football, drawing, and eventually refurbishing and joyriding classic cars with his two younger brothers David Greco, and the late William Greco. Ralph attended Passaic Valley High School, where he met the love of his life, Linda (Mesis) Greco. Ralph earned a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He owned Photos in a Flash on Browertown Road in Woodland Park for 15 years, where many family memories were made. Most recently, he led a successful career in the inventory and supply chain management department at FujiFilm. 

Ralph was known by all for his delicious cooking, weekly pool parties, and being a prankster. He loved to make others smile and laugh. Ralph and Linda hosted every holiday at their home with the common goal of uniting family and friends. There was an open door policy in the home and Ralph never let anyone leave with an empty stomach. Ralph made each Christmas special by dressing up as Santa and bringing gifts to the children and eventually grandchildren. Ralph left an everlasting legacy of love and light. 

Ralph is survived by his wife Linda O. (Mesis) Greco, his beloved children: Jennifer Greco, Nicholas Greco, Robert Greco, Vincent Greco, Amanda Greco and Marisa McSpirit and by his beloved grandchildren; Adrian, Ava, Austin, Aliyana, Jonathan, Rosalina, Penelope and Mila.
