Condolences to the Moceo Family. My husband Jesse and I (Ziggy Rendler-Bregman) bought our home on Van Ness Ave. from Ralph in 1976. We still live there. I was working at Grey Bears at the time, where we rented the office and cold storage from Ralph. When I told him that we bought a house on Van Ness, he said...."That's my house! I sold it too cheap". He didn't know it was me and I didn't know it was him. We have lived in that house for more than 40 years and raised our 3 kids there. In fact, our oldest son had his 5 year old birthday party be a "field trip" to go see Ralph's trains which he had set up in his bigger home three doors down. Ralph was a great neighbor-bringing amazing pasta dishes to our block party. He did live a Dolce Vita for sure. Rest in Peace.
