Ralph Craven passed away in Calgary, Alberta. The obituary was featured in Calgary Herald on November 23, 2010, and Edmonton Journal on November 23, 2010.
What a lovely man Ralph was, and what a sense of humour. I met him at the Colonel Belcher and always enjoyed seeing him at the monthly birthday parties and other activites. If memory serves, he won the annual putting tournament in August for the second floor! My condolences to his family, freinds and the many people his kind spirit touched.

My condolences,I had great respect for your Dad. Ralph was my first supervisor with Farm Credit Corp. and many of the things he taught me were applied throughout my Banking career and managing my own company. Ralph was special.

I really enjoyed visiting with your folks and especially loved checking out your dad's carvings. He was a lovely man and lived a long, wonderful life - he was very lucky to have both you and Diane for daughters and the caring family and friends that shared his world.

This world has lost a very kind and caring soul. Your dad was such an amazing man. Because of his great sense of humour every visit was a pleasant experience. We shared so many laughs. My sincere sympathy to you and your families.

I saw the obituary for Ralph in today’s Edmonton Journal and I wanted to extend my condolences to you and the rest of the family.
You picked a great picture of him. He outlived most people, but I expect everyone is mourning his passing and you will all miss him.
I remember calling him in April to get some information and it was a delight to talk with him.

To his daughters, you must be so proud and blessed to have a great father, we all loved him.
