It has been 2 years since we lost Ralph and has passed very fast. We have missed his friendship greatly but know he will soon be back for the day and time we live is very scriptural.

Ralph was a great person who loved his family and God. He had high values and lived those values. I recall watching him play basketball at UC and know how dedicated and good he was at that sport. We will never forget Ralph as he was always a good person and friend. He will be missed greatly but we know we will see him again.

I am so sorry for your loss. Last summer, I tried to make contact with Ralph for my mom, Pat (Trisha) Staton Goodwin. As her illness progressed, she wanted to reach Ralph and her cousin Patty Burris Johnson, we were unsuccessful with our search, but reminisced of fond memories about her Vanceburg family. My mom passed away in September.
