Unless you’re a listener of Howard Stern you probably don’t know who Ralph Cirella was. He was a long-time contributor to the show, starting out as Stern’s stylist and becoming one of the more polarizing regular characters. He was sometimes hilarious, and more often obnoxious. He was only 58 and apparently died during a medical procedure.
