Peggy and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Ralph brought so many smiles to our faces and he will be missed and thought of often. He always sang "My Way" for me and there are many other songs that nobody will be able to sing like "Raphie". What a special person he was.
