Ralph Louis Wehmann, known affectionately as “Lordy B,” 76, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at his home in Harrington Park, NJ surrounded by his loving family. 

Beloved husband of Nancy (née Kopf) for over 46 years, proud and treasured father of daughters, Stephanie and Kathleen (Adam Szuch), and adored “Pop Pop” of Gemma Lucia and Logan Ralph. He was predeceased by his sons, Denny and Scott, parents Paul and Derna Wehmann, and sister, Derna Elton. 

Survived by countless cherished friends from every stage of a life well-lived, his brother, Carl Wehmann, and multiple generations of nephews and nieces, all of whom were equally captivated by their “Uncle Ralph” for his wisdom, humor, and immensely kind heart. 

Growing up in his hometown of Alpine, NJ, Ralph attended Alpine Public School, graduated from Tenafly High School and went on to serve his country honorably in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, for which his name appears on Alpine’s Memorial Rock. His service included two years aboard the USS Springfield (CLG-7), a guided missile light cruiser and flagship of the 6th Fleet, followed by two years of submarine duty aboard the USS Skate (SSN-578). The friendships forged in the military lasted throughout his life and beyond.

A public servant to his core, following his time in the Navy, he resumed this calling in his career and as a volunteer first responder. Ralph dedicated more than 41 years to the Alpine Department of Public Works, 34 of which he served as Superintendent. He was also a lifetime member and past Lieutenant of the Alpine Volunteer Fire Department.

A lifelong passion of Ralph’s was softball. He spent many years playing in men’s leagues, for teams including DiRese and Bondy’s (Cresskill) and the Northvale Fire Department, where he formed lasting friendships and a deep connection to the sport he loved. A multi-team athlete turned ultimate “girl dad”, he not only instilled a love for the game in his daughters, but in many young athletes, across several seasons from the mid ‘90s to early 2000s with the HP Recreation Girls Softball League as Head Coach of the then-very-well-known championship team, The Coffee Dogs.

His greatest joy was welcoming and caring for his grandchildren. Ralph will be remembered for his strength of character, steadfast determination, impressive ingenuity, grace under pressure, unwavering perseverance, for his dedication to family, a life of service, and his community, as well as his lifelong love of softball and the New York Jets (even if the latter tried his patience nearly every year since 1969). His family takes abiding comfort that his legacy lives on through the many lives he touched through his work and friendships. 

Visiting hours are Saturday, June 20, 2026 from 12-3 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Avenue, Northvale, NJ. A service will be conducted at 2:30 PM during the visitation. Military honors will be rendered in recognition  of Ralph’s service in the United States Navy.

Our beloved mom, grandma/nonna, and great-grandma “Gigi,” Dorothy Rubbo DeStefano, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on June 3, 2026. She was 86 years old.

Born in the Bronx on November 6, 1939, to the late Ida and Giuseppe Rubbo, and predeceased by her sister, Rita and brother Nicholas. 

Dorothy was the heart of the home and the matriarch of our family. She met the love of her life, Peter, at the age of 14. Peter preceded her in death in November 2024. They were together for 70 years and married for 66 years.

Together, Dorothy and Peter created a beautiful life centered on family, love, and laughter. They raised their four children — Donna Grasso (Mario), Annette Ciallella (Rick), Peter DeStefano (Alisa), and Joseph DeStefano (Dina) — in a joyful home where everyone felt welcomed, cherished, and loved. Their legacy lives on through the family they nurtured and the values they instilled.

Dorothy adored her grandchildren: Nicole (Mike), Alexandra (Mark), Jessica (Franco), Marissa, Jenna (Dominic), Alexa (Jarett aka Chad), Jake, Sofia, Angelina, Jovanna, and her angel in heaven, Richard. Her smile shined brightest when she spent time with her cherished great-grandchildren, Cru, Penelope, Luca, Violet, and Audriana, who brought endless joy to her life.

She also leaves behind her sisters-in-law, Kathleen and Helen DeStefano; her brother-in-law Salvatore Calisi; her beloved uncle, Mario Rubbo; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear lifelong friends.

Dorothy was a terrific cook and proudly hosted Sunday dinners for her family. Her kitchen was affectionately known as “Dorothy’s Meatball Palace.” Everyone would jokingly fight over who would get to eat the last meatball — one of her legendary specialties. She lovingly shared her famous meatball recipe and had a meatball making contest with her grandchildren, so her traditions could live on through future generations. 

Dorothy loved to shop until she dropped, playing mahjong, roulette and golf. She even hit a hole in one her first year playing! She loved traveling, reading and sudoku, and even rearranging the furniture just to keep things fresh. She led an active social life and loved to go out to dinner with friends. She was a die-hard Knicks fan, even naming her mini schnauzer, Mason, after one of her favorite players, “Mase in your face!” She loved her bling, dressing up, and having her hair and nails done. She brought fun, style, energy, and love wherever she went.

Above all, Dorothy was the heart and soul of our family. Her love, strength, and beautiful spirit will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her. We take comfort in knowing she is now happily reunited in heaven with our dad, Pebo, the love of her life. 

Visiting hours are Sunday, June 7, 2026 from 12 – 4 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Ave, Northvale, NJ. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated Monday, June 8, 2026 at 10 AM at St. Anthony’s Church, Paris Ave, Northvale with interment to follow at Rockland Cemetery, Sparkill, NY.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Joe Raso Hospice, www.unitedhospice.org (http://www.unitedhospiceinc.org/), would be greatly appreciated.

Sharon Kathleen Hannigan, (née: O’Shaughnessy), passed away peacefully on June 1, 2026, at The Valley Hospital, surrounded by her loving daughters just as she had always surrounded them with love throughout her life. Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, Sharon was the cherished daughter of the late Sinon and Margaret (née: Gallagher) O’Shaughnessy. She carried with her a deep faith, a kind heart, and a quiet strength that shaped the lives of everyone who knew her. Proud of her roots, Sharon held a deep and lifelong pride in being 100% Irish, a heritage that was close to her heart. Sharon was the devoted wife of the late Edmond Lyden Hannigan, with whom she built a life centered on love, family, and togetherness. She was a deeply devoted mother to Eileen Van Horn; Kathleen Hannigan (Ediberto Balatbat); Patricia Hannigan (Robert Lasser); Colleen De Pinto, and the late Corrado De Pinto; and Tara Servodio (Giovanni). Being a mother was her greatest purpose and her proudest role. Her love only grew with each new generation. She was a proud and adoring grandmother to Joseph, Erin, Emily, Nicholas, Patrick, Emma, Gianna, Ethan, Ryan, Ayden Elizabeth, Logan, Nathan, and Joshua, and a treasured great-grandmother to Patrick, Claire, Natalie, Elizabeth, and Evelyn. Nothing brought her more joy than time spent with her family. Her laughter, guidance, and warmth will forever remain in their hearts. Sharon’s happiest moments were centered around togetherness. She especially loved holidays, when her home was filled with laughter, food, and the presence of those she loved. One of her greatest joys was having a full house; her door was always open, and everyone was always welcome. Those gatherings created memories that her family will cherish forever. Sharon was also a loyal and dear friend to many, and she cherished the friendships she maintained throughout her life, always offering kindness, support, and a listening ear. Sharon was predeceased by her dear siblings Bridget Galvin, James O’Shaughnessy, Margaret Sheila O’Shaughnessy, Patricia Crowley, Michele Scibetta, and Michael O’Shaughnessy. She is also lovingly survived by many cherished nieces and nephews, who will remember her warmth, generosity, and enduring love. A woman of deep faith and quiet generosity, Sharon gave so much of herself to others. She was deeply involved in her parish community at St. Paul the Apostle, where she volunteered with the Parent Guild and Carnival Committee, the Rosary Society, and St. Paul’s School. She also dedicated her time to the Academy of Saint Aloysius High School. Her kindness and willingness to help others left a lasting impression on many.
Sharon will be remembered not only for what she did, but for who she was: a woman of beauty, warmth, grace, and unconditional love. She had a special way of making everyone feel at home, and her presence was a comfort to all who knew her.
Though her absence leaves a deep void, the love she gave so freely will live on in the hearts of her family forever. She will be deeply missed, always loved, and never forgotten.
“May her soul be at peace and may the love she shared return to those who cherished her. May the road rise up to meet her, may the wind be always at her back, and may she be held in the gentle embrace of heaven.”
A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 AM on June 6th at St. Paul the Apostle Church, 14 Greenville Avenue, Jersey City, NJ. Entombment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery Mausoleum in North Arlington, NJ.
