Read MoreI'm just sad to hear this. I was fortunate enough to work with Ralph for a few years. He was such a kind man. Always asking about my boys and life. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. Ralph, you'll truly be missed by all who knew you. Marie, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Ralph was an amazing man. Never complained. No matter what he was going through. Loved cutting up with him at Lowes. I worked with him for several years. Thank you Ralph for your Service Thoughts and prayers for Family

So many memories to hold close of growing up together on Union Street in Bellevue. One of the best was driving to Indiana in his dad's '37 Chevy to stay overnight at his Grandma's home. Ralph's passing has left me as last of the Union Street gang. Praying for the family.
