Hello Sissy, Not sure you remember me, but Ralph and I go back to our years in Pompeii. I remember the great times in those days. I wouldn't trade those years for anything. Needless to say he was a huge part of not just my life but the select few of friends as well in Pompeii. Not only did he have a heart of gold but was as honest a person I have ever known. He asked nothing less from others. As I write, memories of those days (kindergarten thru 8th grade) are popping up. As usual, sadly we just lost touch after high school. He will never be forgotten and prayers for Ralph will be endless. Sissy and family, please accept my deepest sympathies. Sammy Amato

My condolences and prayers go out to the Sammarco family. Just heard about Ralph while making arrangements for my youngest brother. I haven't seen Ralph in 45+ years but the name and face sent be me back to playing pinners or shooting marbles behind Jackson school when we were young boys.Thank you Ralph for that. Again so sorry for your loss.
