Joyce, And the Lakin Family, I'm so sorry to hear about Ralph, he was a remarkable man. I remember when you lived on North Darsch Road, Oak Harbor, you were great neighbors. But the memories that I will cherish forever are the times my parents would take me over to your new residence, and all the good times we had in your new home. Ralph and yourself are special people that touched my family lifes and many others. I will never forget those precious memories. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family @ this difficult time. Ralph is now with his great Son. Dan. Dan was a special friend, miss him alot. I always remember that Dans birthday is Christmas.
