As the controller at Finger Lakes Community, I held a lot of trust in Ralph and valued his opinions and judgement. I was saddened when he decided to leave, knowing his replacement had some sizable shoes to fill. It was my respect for his abilities that I immediately asked him to return to the college to fill the finance role at the FLCC Association on a temporary basis until we could find a permanent replacement. As always, he did a fine job. I know Ralph to be a kind and thoughtful human being who will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.

I was sorry to hear the news of Ralph´s passing. I worked extensively with Ralph when he became the first person to fill the new title of Controller at Finger Lakes Community College. It goes without saying that when the College transitioned to its new financial reporting system, we all came to rely on Ralph´s careful project oversight role, resulting in the flawless transfer to the new system. I was forever grateful for all of his efforts and knew there important shoes to fill the day he elected to retire.

Dear Anne and family,
Jodi and I are really sorry for your lose. Ralph was a very special person and was extremely kind and supportive of Jodi and me. He along with Anne were the most emotionally supportive people for our former business HAfunland, always coming for pizza and completely loyal to us. I felt so comfortable with Ralph I even opened up about my tough childhood to him. He was kind of like a father figure to me. He was a real gentleman thru and thru! I love Ralph and send my love to Anne and the kids. Love, Jeff and Jodi

This is so sad but I have lots of memories of Ralph. When we moved to Penn Yan I was in 4th grade, believe it or not I was very shy and scared, Ralph was the very first one to befriend me. I have never forgotten that. We went all through school together. He bowled on my Dad's and brothers league, Bodine Trucking. He was a very sweet person and he will be missed by all who loved him. RIP dear ole friend

Ralph's words were so comforting to me at the funeral service for our Mom many years ago. And Ralph always put a smile on my face at the Meyer Family picnics, always being his sarcastic self, with humor. We will miss you, Ralph. RIP

I will always think of Ralph when we had annual family picnics. He loved my sister's 'green' fruit salad. He was witty and fun to be around. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.
