Among our members, Ralph was our most vocal supporter, and his endorsements always made a difference to AAM. He gave AAM meetings a unique character by way of his optimism, encouragement, infectious humor and even his occasional antics, which kept us on our toes. Fiercely loyal, Ralph set aside his own needs when the needs of the group or others were greater. I consider Ralph a personal friend, and I want to thank him personally for all he has done to mentor me in my role at AAM.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_213\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 810px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.partspro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Ralph-Accino-with-John-and-Painting-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-213\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.partspro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Ralph-Accino-with-John-and-Painting-2.jpg?resize=648%2C432\" alt=\"L to R: John DeBalso (AAM Vice President of Purchasing and \" width=\"648\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/partspro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Ralph-Accino-with-John-and-Painting-2.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/partspro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Ralph-Accino-with-John-and-Painting-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">L to R: John DeBalso (AAM Vice President of Purchasing and Vendor Relations), Ralph Accinno<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Board Member Recognized for Invaluable Contributions Thanking him for his years of service and support, Parts Pro parent company The AAM Group presented Ralph Accinno with a custom painting at a special dedication held during its recent Annual Membership Meeting.
