It was a long goodbye but the legacy survives. One doesn't meet many true visionaries in ones life, but Ralph was precisely that.

A great sadness for me to read of the loss of Ralph. He was a huge inspiration and mentor to me - changed the direction of my life. Always upbeat, innovative and helping to push beyond the norm.
Grief shared is divided and I extend my deep feelings of peace to Molly and the family.

So sorry for you all, and of course what an impactful life to reflect upon! The impact he and Molly have had on mine is monumental and I will always be grateful for his vision and willingness to take a risk, and to support ingenuity and ideas. Thank you Ralph for being one of a kind and the very best kind for me and so many.
