Born in Nola, Italy, Ralph grew up, went to school, and worked in the Naples area until he emigrated with his family to United States in 1967. As a life-long mechanic, he eventually acquired his own business C & J Mobile on 233rd St. in the Bronx. Upon selling his business after many years, he completed the remainder of his career at Panda Pontiac in Eastchester, NY and Mark Buick in Yonkers, NY until his retirement in later years. Ralph was a caring and loving father and grandfather with a big heart, who spent the majority of his time with his family. He was also an animal lover who cherished his dog Toby. In addition to his wife Ada (Casolino), Ralph is survived by his daughter Nancy Layne and her husband David, son Joseph Ippolito and his wife Donna, grandchildren Ashley Layne, Melissa Layne, Joshua Ippolito, and Savannah Ippolitio. He is further survived in Italy by brothers, Francesco and Mario, a sister Madeline, as well as various nieces and nephews.
Arrangements under the direction of Edwin L. Bennett Funeral Homes, Scarsdale, NY.
