Dear Alice & Family, My sincere sympathy on the passing of your devoted husband and father. I met him many years ago when we were both visiting our sons who shared the same room at The Toronto Rehabilitation Hospital, and was greatly impressed by the devotion he showed to Luigi.

Dear Alice, our deepest and heartfelt condolences to you and to all of your family on your loss. I fondly remember Ralph as my manager in the 1980s. He was fair and always ready to lend support and encouragement. And he was classy! My wife still talks of the Christmas luncheons at the Old Mill and being greeted by Ralph with a rose in hand for all the ladies. Andrew’s earliest memories are of the well-stocked and famous candy bowl in his office, which was always left open. So there you have it, just a few of many good memories of an exceptionally good man, that we will always cherish. To Ralph our friend: “May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand”. Sincerely, Frank, Jane and Andrew

My heartfelt condolences to the entire family for their loss. Mr. Brandolini gave me my first job when I was just finishing high school and I worked with him for about 13 years. I will always remember him.
