Dear Mary Ellen and Family,
I will always remember Briggy for his loving personality and wonderful memory. I would see him many times at lunch time at Ridgemark. He always remembered my name and would call me over for a quick hug. He did this right up to two months before he became bedridden at home. Ralph was Mr. San Benito County to many life-long residents. We had mutual friends from San Mateo fifty years ago that bought property from Ralph. He would always ask me how our old friend Morey Nelsen was doing even after lMorey had sold the property years ago. Morey Nelsen thought the world of him.
Tom and I will miss Briggy and miss seeing him in his beautiful red jMercedes.
Fondly,
Tom and Barbara Ament

What can I say about Ralph (I called him Goomba). He liked to frequently use 2 words, beautiful and outstanding. I now know the reason why, because that is how I feel about him. I was introduced to Ralph by Gino Fortino and he and Ralph invited me to be in his Gourmet Club cooking team which included my great friend, the late Gino Fortino (also a beautiful and outstanding person) and it was an honor to be on the team. We would always make what he thought would be the best meal, but Gino also had his say and it was a kick to see them both trying to agree. I spent many years in his company, either playing at golf outings or cooking. It was a privilege to have such a friend and I truly enjoyed playing golf with he and Gino. Thank you Goom for sharing part of your life with me, I will miss you very much. God bless you and keep you safe.

Dearest Brigantino Family, I am so sorry I am going to be unable to attend the service. Your father was very dear to me which I worked at the title company and made me feel like a member of the family (I used to joke with him that he could easily adopt me, what was one more?). He was kind, fun loving and very generous. But what I will always remember most about him is how much he loved his family. He always greeted all of his family whether it be his child, grandchild, in law or close friend with a kiss...I will never forget that. Men from his generation didn't usually show that kind of affection. But he was proud to show his love.
And he loved the name he made up for me...Tamitha, at work he would ask for me by that name, which would confuse new employees when they answered the phone.
Ralph I will miss you, you were truly one of a kind. You leave behind one hell of a legacy.

Dear Katherine, Anna, Chris, David, Anthony, John, and Vince...you all were a huge part of my childhood! Your dad was bigger than life and I feel fortunate to have been considered a third daughter. We had so many, many happy times growing up, and your mom and dad were truly second parents to me. I love your whole family, including the Grana’s. I hope the hole in your hearts from your dad’s passing is filled with the knowledge that he was a good man who loved with an unlimited capacity and who instilled the value of hard work and the importance to to play hard equally as well. I will hold the memories of your mom and dad and all of you in my heart forever. With deepest sympathy...Patty

I was fortunate to work as a Bookkeeper for Ralph at San Benito Realty while attending college. He was always fair, fun, caring, & treated me like family. I hated when I left my pt job with Ralph for a full time job elsewhere.
I’m glad I’ve stayed friends with many of his children and watched some of his beautiful grandchildren grow up with my children thru Sacred Heart.
I know his darling Gloria is waiting for him and they are hanging with Joe and watching over the family they left here with us.
I love you Ralph and sending prayers to your family during this time.

And, when we would run into each other - it was always kiss-kiss on each cheek. I will miss your smile! God bless you! My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Part of my childhood has just died. Ralph might have raised a large family, but it was so loving—he leaves a beautiful legacy behind and I am so proud to have called them friends for almost 60 years. From steers in 4-H, to cutting cots, to pulling the water ski boat in 8th grade, to vacationing together at Strawberry, he lived a full life and I was glad to be a part of it. My condolences to the Brigantino family, he will be missed but always in my heart.

While reading Ralph's obituary, it was easy to envision his smiling face and infectious laugh. I will always remember his friendship, even though Andy and I are a bit younger than he. One of my favorite memories is 'cutting cots' the summer man first walked on the moon. They actually shut down the line, brought out a TV set and we all watched Neil Armstrong take his giant leap for mankind. Thank you Ralph and family for always welcoming the Quitney family into your home.

I don';t know how my dad met Ralph, but it must have been through cattle and ranching. I met and knew Ralph many years before I knew any of his lovely family members. Because I was with my dad every minute I could be, I was lucky to be introduced to Ralph while I was young and he was always so nice. And this man will be so missed by not only his wonderful family, but by the entire county. RIP in peace sir!!
