Randy, Heather and Family, I was sorry to hear the passing of your father, I was fortunate enough to have gotten Ralph and in those few opportunities, I always seemed to think of him to be the oldest kid I ever knew. Quick with a smile or a funny, and always willing to chat hockey, he was a top tenner in my books. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your dad. I met Ralph in 1951 when I joined the EFD and had a lot of respect for the man. He is in a better place now.

Please accept our deepest condolenes for Ralph's passing.
I remember hearing stories about Ralph's hockey accomplishments and some of his antics as well at the firehall.
He will truely be missed.
Please mark Thursday morning 2008 September 11th on your calender. That's the day tat the Edmonton FireFighters Memorial Society is holding their annual Remembrance Ceremony at the Firefighter's Memorial Plaza in Old Strathcona.
It's the day that we remember and honour all those members that we have lost in the past year. We like to have the family participate in the ceremony as it helps with closure for all of us.
I'll be in contact with you sometime in the summer with the details.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with your contact information.
Again, our deepest condolences.

To Randy and the entire Hansch family, my sincere condolences on the passing of your father. Although I did not have the chance to meet your father I did have the chance to hear many stories and heard many comments about him as a hockey player, firefighter and father. In the business of scouting you learn the connection of good character players to good parents. All you have to do is meet Randy Hansch to know he must have had the finest parents.
