Not sure what to say?





Ralph was a true gentleman. I enjoyed our conversations about Franklin Township. You could have a serious discussion, hold opposing views and still smile. He was a special man.

Carol and family - I met Ralph Newark High School. He was a brilliant and fascinating man, I always looked forward to seeing him at Reunions! I am thinking of you and know that you, too, have millions of wonderful memories to keep him in your hearts.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Ralph's passing. Ralph was a true friend and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Ralph always had a smile or a funny story to share and contributed so much to so many. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Carol, Andy, Keith, Terry and all other members of the Olivier family.

Ralph - You were one of the best friends I have ever had. Your dry wit was without equal and you always made me laugh. Our schemes to rule the world, or at least to buy Sam's, always seemed to make so much sense...at least to you and me. Even though distance had separated us, it always seemed as if we could fall right back into our routine when we had a chance to see each other. I will miss you my Brother.

To Carol, Terry, Keith and the rest of Ralph's family - please accept my condolences and best wishes. Know that Ralph was loved immensely by many people and will be missed.
