Dear Patty!
I happened to google about Ralph today because I'm writing a photobook about our visits to Martina in San Diego. I was adding the photo of you two and us visiting your home. Then I read the very sad news! Dear Ralph! We send you our love!
First time we met was when you picked us up at night in San Diego Airport 1977. Our flight was delayed because of an emergency landing earlier in LA. We were on our way to ETI in Solana Beach. Then we met again in Sweden. Remember Ralph playing Lasse's guitar in our home in Uppsala 1978.
Last time was when Martina and I visited you in your lovely house in Leucadia 2011. Even if it was 32 years since we saw each others we just continued our talking!
That was Ralph and Patty! So loving!
We are so happy that we got to knew you!
Take care, in Swedish: Sköt om dig!
Kram Anneli, Lasse å Martina

We loved our time at CHMC / HRC working with Ralph. We was always upbeat, always encouraging, and always a lot of fun. You could count on him for telling or hearing something funny. He also had a way of listening that made you sure that he cared. Alex and I are grateful that we got to know "the Omaha Kid". We're thinking of you Patty as you make this massive, difficult adjustment in your world.

About 10 years ago, I got into a car with Patty Howell driven by a handsome, tousled hair gentlemen names Ralph whom Patty introduced as her husband, and after usual greetings, Patty and I commenced a conversation about the interface of her work and Imago. The meetings in cars driven by Ralph occurred several times, but little did I know that this quiet, warm, smiling, gracious gentlemen had such an illustrious history. I only know this man who exhibited such "soul" was married to an amazing and powerful woman. I am so glad to know him through this obituary and wish I had been more curious when I was with him. Though, actually, we were all so busy when we were together, that none of us talked much about anything but work!!
I add my deep appreciation of him and who he was as a spouse for Patty. And send her and to all the survivors my condolescencs and prayers as she makes this transition to life without Ralph.
Blessings and peace and love,
Harville Hendrix

It was an honor and privilege for me to get to know Ralph and Patty while working as their literary agent. Ralph stood out as someone highly intelligent, yet keenly interested in listening to others so that productive and caring relationships could be forged for the long term. His and Patty's marriage seemed to me to exemplify a loving, respectful partnership built on the pillars they so ably described in their book, World Class Marriage. I was so impressed by how they complemented each other's talents and persevered to extend the reach of their book and accompanying programs to many thousands of people whose relationships were saved or enriched by their guidance. In reading through his obituary, I now know that I knew only a small part of what made him an outstanding individual. My heartfelt condolences go to Patty, his family, and dear friends.
