Not sure what to say?

i am so sorry for your loss. I had a boss named Ralph Carlson who happened to be a great person and i always wondered what happened to him. Did he by any chance had a printing business in Inglewood in the late 80s?

I´m missing and remembering my MSU friend. Ohio State really smacked us this year. But at least we beat the other school! I miss your smile on days like that!!

I am so sorry for your loss. My name is JoAnn Schindler. I had connected with Ralph through ancestry over a year ago as we were listed as second cousins through a DNA match. His grandfather Andrew Benson was a brother to my grandfather Elias Benson. He had promised to send me his genealogy records from that line but I never heard from him again. I was afraid he had fallen ill and found this site. It must be so much to take in as the man I communicated with was articulate and bright. ...

On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences on your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that Ralph is now at peace.

It seems like just a short time ago that we were out in your hot tub. It can't be 30 years, can it? I've had such good intentions about getting in touch. You all were very important to us and our kids used to hear all our stories about our friends Donna and Ralph. I'm so sorry for the reason that I'm finally writing. Donna, all our love and prayers are with you and your family. I would love to hear from you when and if you are up to it. Love, Mary and George

I will miss Ralph's friendship and kind smile. It was nice to have a fellow Spartan in Huntington Beach. What a surprise it was to learn that we lived in the same dorm but a few decades apart. I have no family here in California, so it was nice to find someone who shared my love for the "home team." Ralph was a good Spartan but now he will root for the Green and White with the best seat in the house.
