We are so sorry for your loss of a wonderful man. We had lost touch with Ralph over the last few years and had no idea he was ill. Had we known we would have been there for him and you his family. He said and did many great things for our family over the years and he had great wisdom which he shared willingly with those who had the wisdom to ask. We will miss him very much. If we can help in any way please let us know.

Ralph was one of my absolute favorite regulars at the Hinckley General Store, when I worked there. He actually gave me a ride on his bike, it was the first time I had ever been on a motorcycle and he sure did show me how to love it! He was a funny and happy guy, there wasn't a time he didn't come in get a bag of chips and papers and say hello with a smile! He will be missed by many! So sorry for your loss.
