Ralph Gagnon is to be remembered for the love and loyalty he inspired, as evidenced by the large numbers of family and friends who attended both the visitation Wednesday and the funeral service on Thursday. Ralph and Jeannette both inspired their children Mary and Thomas in their love of music. Through the parents' dedication to family activities (the family is still close)and wholesome entertainment (their love of music), we have a legacy continuing in their son's commitment to music. The entire Gagnon family is to be commended for their loving deportment throughout the trying final months of Ralph's life.
