D. Ralph Coppersmith

My deepest sympathies to your family. I have such fond memories of the countless hours spent in your home as a child. It was such a pleasure to have known him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Ralph as I grew up in Belvidere.

It was my priviledge and pleasure to know Ralph. It was a real comfort to me to have a subsitute Dad, as I had just lost my own when I met you. You both treated me(for better and worse!) like another daughter. Ralph was one of the last, wonderful, old-time gentleman "characters" of a generation that can never be produced again. I will miss him immensely.

Harriet, I have fond memories in my heart of you and Ralph as I recall our days spent at BHS. May you and your family find peace in your hearts as you share the beautiful memories you made together.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I enjoy my memories of sitting on the porch talking with Ralph. I will remember him fondly. God Bless and Comfort you all during this sad time.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

So sorry to hear about Ralph's passing. I will always remember stopping at your house on my way from work and sharing news. I will miss him.
