I met Ralph at the North Hampton Irving. We became pals quickly as he was such a friendly person.
I will miss not being able to have a midday or evening chat with him ...they were always fun .

He will be missed and remembered.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I worked with Ralph for the past 2 years at the North Hampton Irving. Ralph was my friend as well as my teacher. He could always cheer me up when I was down with one of his pranks or just a simple joke. Ralph and I shared the same love for cooking for friends and family. Each month we would have a pot luck lunch at work and he would always tease me and ask me where is my stuffed shells. He enjoyed them along with the sugar free strawberry rhubarb pie I would make him.

I will miss Raplh greatly, but he will always hold a special place in my heart and I will charish all the fun we had. Ralph you may have moved on but you will not be forgotten.

Ralph loved his internet jokes! He was always smiling and joking when we worked together at the Newmarket Irving. I will miss him dearly.
