A great friend. Ralph was totally dedicated to his faith, family and friends. We will always cherish our times together, especially during the holidays and, of course, competitive games of ping-pong. We were blessed to have Ralph in our life.

I worked with Ralph at Olivetti and we became life long friends I would see Ralph regularly either at BJs or Karns. We would talk for at least a half hour each time catching up on what was going on in our lives. I missed seeing him of late. Will miss my friend.

Mr. Fickes was a loving generous man who treated me like a daughter. Mrs. Fickes cared for me in her daycare from age 2 continuing with after school care through age 14. Mr. Fickes would come home from work and make sure to make me smile lifting me up high when I was little or making me laugh with a fun game with Candy the poodle.
During middle school, Mr. and Mrs. Fickes took me to the beach for my first visit. I will never forget seeing the ocean and listening to the roaring waves...

Please be assured of my prayerful support. I so admired Ralph and appreciated his dedication when he worked at Saint Joseph during my time as pastor. May he be at peace. May you know the Lord’s consolation
