Jay and I were in high school together in Long Creek. One summer, I think it was 1940, he, another friend and I went to Pendleton to work in pea harvest. Jay's grandfather cooked and cared for us at the Farrow family home on Squaw Creek near Gibbon. We worked twelve hours a day, from 6 to 6 with no time off for lunch. Fun summer. World War II came along and our paths parted, he to the Navy and I to the Marines. Last time I saw him was in my travel trailer in Long Creek about ten years ago...

Marty,
I am so sorry for your loss. I read through the obit in the Oregonian today (through a link sent out, as you know, by Sam). Marty, I can't tell you how taken I was by Ralph's story. It's a beautiful account of an expanding life, of continued elaboration of a good man's personal and professional life and his life and place in the community.
I wish now that I had known your Ralph.
I send you my best hopes for your future. May your pain ease...

Although I did not know Ralph Farrow, Jr., personally, the fact that Marsha took him as her husband is enough to convince me that he must have been a wonderful person. I grew up just a few houses away from Marsha, we went through school together and I would like to offer her my condolences at the loss of her husband, Ralph.
