Many of his efforts continue to benefit WPIX-TV today, including the
station’s Citigroup Building and North Shore microwave receives sites.
“Although Ralph left WPIX in 2005 to accept a Director of Engineering position at the UN, he always considered himself always and forever a “PIX Lifer”. Ralph Augenfeld, of Brooklyn, is survived by his daughter Britt and son Zach.
