What a lot of wonderful memories we have of Ralph (you can't say Ralph without Pat). We shared so many wonderful, fun times over the years. Can't think of a better example of husband, father, and friend than Ralph. His optimism and humor were always so welcomed in any setting.

To Pat and Family,
We were privileged to attend Ralph's celebration of life service today and to learn even more great things about the great man that we knew. Your dear Ralph will be greatly missed by his LDS congregation. He and Pat have always been willing to serve in whatever capacity they were asked.

Ralph and Pat have always been the most giving people. They adopted our family at Christmas in 1964 for which we have been forever grateful. He always had a great sense of humor which made us laugh. Ralph was a great example in his service to others, especially in his care for his wife and family. The world is a better place because of Ralph. All of the Grant Stowell family extend their condolences and best wishes to Pat and the family. We will miss Ralph.
