Not sure what to say?

We are so sorry for your loss. My husband, Joe Grand, loved to drive up from Boston to visit with him whenever we went back home in the summertime. He was in awe of Ralph and often thought how cool it must have been to grow up with him as your dad. We wish you peace in your hearts. :)

Ralph, while we didn't know him personally, had a huge impact in our family. Our son chose Mr. Baer has his Famous American for a report two years ago. Our son wrote to Mr. Baer, and received not only a response but also a signed picture. We were so saddened to hear of Mr. Baer's passing. Our prayers are with his kids and family. We just wanted to say thank you for sharing your loved with us and for making a little boy's day. Mr. Baer will definitely be missed by our family.

I was so saddened when she passed away. His...

To Jim, Mark and Nancy, please accept my family's sincerest condolences over the passing of your father, whom I will miss dearly. He has been a major part of my life for the past 16 years and I will cherish the friendship that I shared with both of your parents forever.

My deepest sympathy for your loss! Ralph Baer brought much joy to the lives of many youths by means of his inventions. Please allow the real hope of being reunited with him in the promised Paradise prove to be both comforting and appealing to the entire Baer family and others he leaves behind. He will be missed!

Nancy, Mark, and Jim we are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. From All of us at Comfort Keepers. Julie, Heather, Mike and Pat Collins
