Not sure what to say?

We just learned of Ralph's passing today. Thinking of all the laughs we had so many years ago in Chicago. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.

I have know Ralph for over 20 years and was truly a friend. He was one of a kind. Will miss him. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family...I was worried last year at Napervlle Ribfest that I would not see him again. xxoo Jan Bienfang

I am so blessed to have known Ralph for as many years as I have. I started working for him and Cynthia at 15 years old and 27 years later I am honored to still have them both in my life. Ralph was one of the most generous, caring, and sweetest man I know. I will miss him tremendously and the summers just wont be the same. My love and condolences with his family during this time.

My heart goes out to the families. He was a generous sweet man.

I wish to give my condolences for the loss of your loved one,May the God of all comfort grant you peace doing this difficult time.(Matthew 5;4)

How blessed I feel to have known this Man.
Ralph came into my life at a time when I needed to see that Integrity, sincerity and compassion were still alive and well.
He chose the High Road in Life....Seeking out the Good in All others. So Rare So Few
I will always hold on to the warmth of His smile and that Spark in His Eyes.
May you croon with the Angels now in everlasting peace.

I love him like a father... He will be missed. I met Ralph when I was 13. He gave me my first job and taught me work values. May god bless all of you
(Cynthia, Ann, Kathy and Jimmy). Ralph I love you and RIP.

Cynthia, Ann,Kathy and Jimmy,

So sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories with Cynthia and Ralph. I will miss calling Ralph over the Holidays and talking about how terrible the Bears are. Your dad and Cynthia were like 2nd parents to me and so blessed/thankful to met a man who was so giving and thoughtful. May each of you find peace knowing he is in a better place.
