Bal was a vibrant and fascinating person whom we were fortunate to meet both in Boulder and at his home on Hilton Head Clearly, he was a genuine "Renaissance Man" just like his son, our good friend Todd.

My wife & I moved to the island in 1968 and were privileged to know Ralph and Sis for over 20 years and his mother in law Mildred Waffenschmidt. Simply the best kind of friends we could have had.

A wonderful man, we first met when Bal and his first wife Sis volunteered to refurbish old bird cages for the Bird Hospital of Hilton Head and remained friends ever since.
