Oh Ralph. Ever the elitist, You were one of the great teachers of our time. I will never forget the New York City trip when You, Peter, and I shared a room due to mixed up connections. Every day was a brand new adventure then. You will be missed.

I feel so honored to have known Ralph. He was such a gentle and kind man. I will always remember that when you had a conversation with Ralph he made you feel that anything you might be talking about was just so interesting to him. He made everyone feel special and that's what made Ralph special. He will be greatly missed.

Ralph will truly be missed by so many. We are, like so many others, fortunate to have him as a friend. We will miss the "Chinese Cook Outs" but never forget the great times. Ralph was and always will be a part of our lives. Ralph, we thank you for that honor.

How proud I am to be a graduate of Ralph's and Paula's travel course at Quigsigamond Community College. And, with Ralph's encouragement, we went on to receive the C.T.C. designation. Any who knew him, loved and respected him. Whomever and whatever he is teaching now, has the best of instructors! We will never forget!

So many of us feel honored to have known our great friend Ralph. We are sure he is in heaven telling God he is wrong about something---and winning the argument too. We shall miss you greatly every day but we know you will be there to greet us and to say, you see, I was right about that...after all. Our heavy hearts are lifted at the thought of meeting you once again,

There is a glorious reunion going on in heaven right now -- Ralph, Freda, Judy, Elsie, and oh so many more -- and they are welcoming Ralphie with so much love and joy. But, we still miss you here, Ralphie, and we'll always love you, too. Later, gator.

If ever the phrase"gentleman and scholar" were appropriate, it would be to describe Ralph. He had a brilliant mind, and had the gentlest of hearts. To have had Ralph as a dear friend for over 35 years was indeed one of my greatest blessings and gifts. He will be missed by all who knew him.
