I met Ralph at Elsie Rodney's barn on a day when the rain beat off the roof and poured down in front of us. We were both cleaning stalls. We started talking and never stopped, until he finally sent his horse out to his granddaughter in Grafton, MA, YEARS LATER. I was always happy to see his red van at Elsie's. He was one of the kindest men I ever met and I loved spending time with him. I was privileged to know him and I shall remember him my whole life, smiling and warmly welcoming people into his life.

Ralph was a wonderful gentleman and horseman. He will be sorely missed by his Morgan horse friends whose hearts will ache at his absence from the regional shows for years to come. His love of his horses and the delight at granddaughter Kayla's success with his "Hermie" was visible on his face. Always ready to give a helpful hand or a fiendishly fast carriage ride is how I will lovingly remember him. I wish him peace and his family solace in this difficult time.

You gave me a touch of the simple life with your horses and garden. I will miss that little country Image in Belmont that is fading away. ...
