I went to school and was friend of Ralph in the 60's. We did some crazy things back then. Good times . Always wondered what happened to him. Looks like he had a great life and family. My sympathy to all.

I will certainly miss Ralph and his larger than life personality. He was generous and caring and one of the most creative people I've ever met. I don't think there was anything he couldn't do if he decided to. And, believe me, he decided to do a lot! Sometimes it was hard to keep up with him and his projects. He was an artist and a very talented singer. It really hurts my heart that he is gone. Ralph gave a valiant effort and the world will not be the same without him. Rest in Peace,...
