Ralph Dodson

Granddaddy Ralph


-I did not know him very long, but those days I did get to spend with him were always filled with joy. We shared many laughs together, seems like he always had something to say. He was a man of honor, a respected man, one who knew probably more than I could even imagine or grasp. He was immensely talented, brilliant, and witty. I am going to miss him with all of my heart, but I know deep down this is what he wanted. He was always telling me how I was going to...

I don't remember just how, but some years ago Ralph and Peggy became my medical patients. I always felt it was a pleasure to be with them, and I even visited their home on one occasion. When Ralph could no longer play golf, he gave me his golf bag and clubs, which I continue to use. He was quiet and in the biography I even learned things I did not know. How wonderful if everyone had his attitude and gentle manners.

What an incrediable gentleman he was. The ability to light up the room with his joyful voice. His kind words of encouragement for all. His way with words was just one of his exceptional gifts that he shared as his gift to others. His warm heart was felt personally by all who knew him.
He will be missed tremendously and NEVER forgotten.
