Ralph had the best natural swing and to this day I can still his smooth but powerful swing. His swing was so much like Mr Ralph greenwood, long time golf pro at shore haven. I mention. In my book  summer days hot nights. Enjoy it all and stay safe  play some golf.

I grew up living next door to the Rizzo family. Loved every minute with them as a family. Grace with her great cooking , and she taught us all how to play cards aka gamble, she was fantastic. Ralph was my hero one of the best golfers I ever played with or watched from the gallery. After 35 years in the Golf business and having played with the great playing pro golfers Ralph was as good and had a fantastic golf swing.  I share many stories about Ralph,  and many others in my book titled  SUMMER DAYS  /  HOT NIGHTS all about Norwalk and its teenagers  from the mid 50's to the late 60's check it out, promise you will enjoy it! I can still see his silky smooth swing and will not be forgotten. Brian Doyle

To Ralph, Michelle, Renee, and Michael, my name is Frank, although, Ralph called me Charlie. When we worked at Sorensen for a guy named Juan, he called everybody Charlie. It stuck. After1969, we lost touch. In 1999, my wife Marion, passed away. Ralph called me. What a nice surprise.  Ralph and Marion, went through high school together, and were good friends. Ralph and I were at Fort Bragg, at the same time and shared many a ride home together. We grew up on Lexington Ave. Ralph, Tony, me and my brother Tony, and shared many fond memories. In 1970, Marion bought tickets, for a car raffle, we actually won the car. About two weeks later, Ralph won a car at St. Thomas. Somewhere in between, Marion and my son Mike run into Ralph. Ralph rubs Mike on the head for good luck, damn if it didn't work. Ralph was a good man, and a good friend. You are good people, love each other. In the end, family is all you have.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was such a big part of our lives growing up . 
Great smile ! 

I’m so sorry to hear of Ralph’s death . I will miss seeing him around the neighborhood and at the golf courses. Thinking of all of you and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers-
Ann
