To the Barnes family
I was sorry to read about the passing of Ralph, I was his Coca-Cola salesman at the Community Store at the State Hospital Binghamton for over twenty years. I had the highest respect for Ralph and shared many a laugh with him over the years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
