Not sure what to say?

In 2019 while on holiday in New York, I took a photo of one of the World Trade Centre Reflecting Pools. One of the names in the photo is the name Ralph Francis Kershaw. A white rose was placed over his name. In 2022 back in New Zealand, while looking at the photo again, I asked myself "who was this person"? I am glad I have now put a face to the name. My condolences to Ralph's family. A good man, taken too soon.

18 long years has gone by and we can not forget the tragedy that happened. A good friend and client was lost on flight 175 on 911. Ralph, rest in peace my friend. you will never be forgotten

Rest blissfully.

A childhood friend and a good guy. I will always remember your smile. Gone too soon.

Thoughts ands prayers to the entire Kershaw family;hoping that your lives and families have gained some peace over these years.I think of Ralph often,and look back when things were much simpler in the world.One cannot change the past but they can make the present and future better.I hope to honor Ralph by doing my part.God Bless all of you,and Rest in Peace Ralph

16 years have passed and it seems like only yesterday! I am always thinking of the Kershaw family and will always continue to pray for them. Ralph left a void that can not be filled! god bless the Kershaw family!

Today, I went, for the first time, to one of the annual memorial ceremonies that my city haves on this date. They had a flag, embroidered with the names of all the victims from that day. By chance one of the first ones I noticed was Ralph's. My last name is also Kershaw, I do not know if we are related, distantly or not, but I was moved and wanted to know a little bit more about this man who shares my family name. I feel honored to have gotten to know his memory a little, my thoughts and well...

Thoughts and prayers to the entire Kershaw family on the 16th anniversary of that fateful day.Ralph will always be remembered by his many friends for the kind of person that he was,a great family man and a lover of life and his country.He will always be missed and will always be remembered.RIP Ralph and may someday we all have the peace that we deserve.

I always think of your Dad on this day and recall meetings at school when he would make it clear how much he loved and expected for and from his sons.
