Deepest sympathies and prayers to Ralph's entire family. Ralph was a custodian at Freeman School when I had worked there as a paraprofessional. He was a caring and personable man who loved his family and spoke of them often when I spoke to him. He was an excellent custodian. May he rest in peace. God Bless.

Sorry for your loss. Ralph was a colleague at PHS who made me laugh with his candid, wry humor. His patience with the drama productions' clean-up will always be remembered!
