Ralph was my industrial arts teacher during the years 1956 - 1958. Having him for a teacher was one of the best things that happened to me in my entire life. The many things he taught me have made an indelible impression on my life. I considered him a Friend though I only visited him once (about 2001). I'll always regret that I didn't make more of an effort to visit him again.
I'm proud to have had him in my life.
I extend my condolences and, too late, send a huge THANK YOU, RALPH.

Everytime I saw Ralph, he always had a smile on his face and extra energy to boot. He lived a full and wonderful life. Please take comfort in knowing he is finally with his best friend and soul-mate Eleanor. Ralph will be sadly missed by all of us here.
