My thoughts are with you and your family. I will forever remember the stories Ralph would tell me in the dugout in between innings and after our softball games were over. It was never a dull moment.

I will miss seeing his face in the morning.
I called him Boss.
In the morning I would say, Hey, Boss! and when I did his eyes would light up and he'd say, Hey, I know you! How ya doin'? And then he would ask me to help him break out of this place. He was charming, I loved his smile, his sarcasm and I enjoyed kidding around with himhe will be missed!

Many...

My condolences to Ralph's Family. I graduated with Ralph in 1948. He lived here at St. Paul's Sanctuary for a short time before moving to Michigan. He has many Mishawaka Alumni who live here. We were sorry to see him leave here. He was a great guy. Rest in peace dear class mate.

Chris and Cindy,
I was saddened to read of your Dad's passing.
Ralph DeMeyer was a wonderful Catholic, a great ball player and man out and about in River Park.But,what I remember most was one hell of a good South Bend Police Officer and Chief.

Sorry to hear of your dad's passing...you have my heartfelt sympathy. Losing a parent is very difficult, as you begin to remember all the good times you had. Farewell to a softball legend. Nancy Barnett
