Dear Ila and family, I just heard the news of Ralph's passing. I was shocked and saddened. I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of caring for him. He always had a smile and a joke.

I will always have the fondest memories of Coach Blinn. He taught me not only how to play football, but to always demand the best from myself and to always be prepared and strive for perfection(Thank you for those life lessons). He was very stearn with the kids he coached, but in a good way. The ten laps for goofing off or not giving your best always seemed liked a lesson not punishment. Ralph was a role model in every sense. He will be missed by all of us he touched over the years.

Ralph worked at The IGA store in Lansing when I met him. Back then, my dad, Ned Armstrong, was a manager there. I was a cashier. Dad would ask me if I wanted to take my break with him-then he'd ask Ralph to join us as well. Those two guys had the GREATEST sense of HUMOR!! When they got together, it was THE BEST!! I am deeply sorry for your loss.
The world has lost a rare and special person-

I was so sad to hear the loss of such a great man today. At my age of ten , I remember Ralph as our meat cutter at the IGA in Lansing NY.He was very instrumental in starting my interest in sports, Football mainly.I remember his taunting ways as I played against his Small Fry Football team in Candor. he was a great mentor and a true friend to all. My thoughts and prayers go to his family as Ralph will never be forgotten.
