I remember his visit to my family in Washington state; and when I saw him with my boys during our time in Oxnard. He was always articulate, knew...

I will always remember the true friendship Ralph shared with my family and I, and the many talks we had-regarding current affairs and matters from the past. Ralph was very articulate . knew a lot of people and was a walking piece of history. He would talk to me of his children and of time spent with my father and uncle. Some of his many adventures and I could not help but view him as a man's man. It was a pleasure to have known Ralp;h for over 44 years. I will miss the opportunity to...
