It is with great sadness for my mother and I to find out about the passing of Ralph from a Bridgeport citizen. He was a great man and we regret not being able to pay our respects in person. Condolences to the Amelio family on the passing of their father, husband and grandfather. Ralph was my sister´s godfather. May he rest in peace.
