What a great guy and an asset to his community and country. Ralph was a local legend to the Amateur Radio hobby and assisted many, myself included, in getting their radio license. He will be missed by many...

We will always remember Ralph as a good neighbour and dear friend. Memories of Ralph and Mabel sharing tomatoes and peppers over the back fence, and us reciprocating by sending over pears from the tree in our front yard. The neighbourhood will never be the same without him. We will remember him every spring when we first till the garden, cut the lawn, trim the hedge between our properties, or when Jim and Mike shovel the snow for the whole neighbourhood. Ralph was one in a million, and such a big part of our daily lives.We will honour his memory with the passing of every season. Our deepest condolences to Mabel, Brenda, and his family. May you find comfort in knowing we share your fond memories of this fine gentle man. It was truly an honour to call him friend for over 20 years. Love from Judy, Jim, Chris, and Dillon.
