So sorry to hear of "Coon's" passing. He was always so open and friendly to all his friends. We loved him dearly and he will be missed so much. And, you Inez, stood by him so bravely. May God bless you and your family.

"Coon" will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful friend, and will always be remembered fondly. He always loved my father Bennie, and I loved hearing him tell stories about my father's football days in the 50's. My dad and entire Galloway family loved Ralph dearly. Our prayers are with the family and his wonderful wife.
