Gale Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Ralph. I just heard this morning from Suzy in Florida? I have very fond memories of Uncle Ralph coming over on his bike to see Leonard. Well he's up there in great company now with Leonard and Dodo and Mary. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of sorrow.
