My deepest condolences to your family. I will always remember his great kindness and energetic spirit. Greta Motts Birkby

I am so sorry for your loss. Very sad to lose someone who was a good man, father, husband, grandfather, colleague and in my case, neighbor. Sincere and heartfelt condolences to all the Ralph boys and Mrs. Ralph. Love, Suzy Stein

I worked with Dr. Ralph through his work at the Massachusetts Medical Society. He will be missed, he was a very kind and gentle soul. My thoughts and prayers for your family.

I have many happy memories of times spent with Jim and Edie before they were marrried and more recently on their visits to Pemaquid Beach, Maine. Jim kept busy mowing my lawn, removing a fish hook from my neighbor's eye brow and also fishing. My
thoughts and prayers will continue to be with Edie and her family. Fondly, Pinky

It was my great pleasure and good fortune that my season ice hockey tickets were next to Dr. Ralph and Edith for some years in section G10. As an alumn, we saw the program enter Hockey East and had many great conversations about UMass, old time hockey, sports and life in general. I had great respect for his warm and gentle manner, wisdom and sense of humor. He is an inspiration to us all.
My thoughts and prayers are with Edith and Family. Sincerely, Marty Stevens

My sincere condolences to the family for your loss may the God of all comfort sustain you in your time of need.
