Not sure what to say?

Same as some others, I went to Glenside, Bunker and Muskegon High School with Ralph, graduating same year. He was a fun guy with a great sense of humor and nice to hang around with. I'm not sure why but during the Bunker days I ended up dating many of Ralph's ex-girlfriends. As I remember he was a very good wrestler and darn good at tennis. I think he was a bit of natural at many things sports related. I lost track of him after high school. Condolences to the family.

Went to MHS with Ralph , such a great guy who could always give you a good laugh..and his smile was the best!!! My sincere condolences to his family and friends May you rest in peace Ralph

I grew up in Ruddiman Terrace with Ralph and the Bouwman family. We were good friends from a very young age. We attended Glenside Elementary, Bunker Jr High and Muskegon High School together. So many fun and crazy times! Ralph was quick witted and had a great sense of humor which kept myself and many others laughing a lot! I know during his time as an employee of North Muskegon Public Schools, he was a top notch custodian. His classrooms were the cleanest and his teachers were the happiest....

I went to HS with Ralph. I regret not touching base with him over the years. Great guy. My condolences to the family. Dan O´Toole
