Over the course of a 30-year career at South County Hospital, Ralph helped build a culture of quality that exists to this day.  His presidency from 1989-1996 was a period of sustained growth as the hospital added labor/delivery/recovery rooms in the maternity ward, a new pediatrics unit, a renal dialysis facility and began offering laparoscopic surgery.

Besides the passion he had for his work, his greatest enjoyment was spending time with his family.

He was the father of Ralph Misto III of Hope, Mark Misto and his wife Karla of Foster, Thomas Misto of Cranston and Edward Misto and his wife Jill of Wakefield; Grandfather of Mark Jr. and his wife Jaimie, Kayla, Julia, Thomas Jr., Zachary and Hannah;  brother of Theresa Tavares of FL and the late Leona Misto RSM.
