We worked with dear Ralph at Webster Hill School for several years.
He was a constant source of kindness and compassion for both students and staff...and a real gentle man! If you needed any kind of help, Ralph was there for you. He kept the school in excellent condition, and worked many, many long hours with not a complaint. He was especially supportive to our young kindergarten youngsters, and made them smile and feel loved. We are so very sorry for your loss, and send along prayers and hugs to Raplh's beautiful family.
Thank you, Ralph, for all our special memories together...it was a sincere honor working with you.

I was a nurse at Webster Hill School and worked with Ralph. He was a wonderful man who took pride in his work, had a great sense of humor and was always ready to help. May he rest in peace.

I was a nurse at Webster Hill School and worked with Ralph.
He was a wonderful man who loved the children and took pride in keeping the school in great shape. He never complained about some of the things he had to clean up, had a great sense of humor and was kind to all. May he rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of working with Ralph while I was a teacher at Webster Hill School. He was a hard worker who took pride in the school. He kept it looking as if it was built yesterday! Ralph was respected, admired, and loved by the staff. He had many talents. He used his own time to build a working R2-D2 Robot for our School play, Star Wars. When we installed an automated Weather Station on the roof of the building, he was by my side helping to solve any problems. Thanks to Ralph this Weather Station's Data is still in use throughout the Country today. He was a cherished friend and will be missed.

I am so broken hearted to hear of Ralph's passing. I worked at Webster Hill Elementary and then my children attended as well. Ralph was a loving, kind, hard working man. He was humble and gracious and when he retired, we all missed him. I am so very sorry for your loss, he was a wonderful human being!
