Ralph Panetta has been “hanging around” Glen Cove for the past century. The Glen Cove resident celebrated his 100th birthday last month with family, friends and well-wishers at The Regency, where he has lived for the past eight years. The celebration included gifts, speeches, and tears of happiness.

“I was born in Glen Cove and I’m still hanging around in Glen Cove,” Panetta said.

“So many residents and staff members love his great sense of humor, his contagious smile, and love for the game of golf,” Beth Evans, administrator of The Regency said. “Golf and Ralph go back a long way.”
