MR RALPH WILL SURELY BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM. HE WAS ALWAYS SUCH A JOY TO SEE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM THAT HE DID NOT GIVE ME A HUG AND A SMILE AND ASK HOW I WAS. HE WILL ALWAYS HOLD A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY PRAYERS. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN S'BORO SUPPLY WAS ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE DRUG STORE, MY VISITS WITH MR RALPH WERE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYDAY. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
