I will forever be proud of my professional relationship with Ralph that grew into a fifteen year friendship. I always appreciated Ralph's open expression of love, respect and devotion to Terry - and the gracious way in which he treated my wife Leah.
Ralph was a special person that worked hard to help others grow and succeed. Every time I called - Ralph answered and he never said goodbye until I was ready. A true gentlemen!
He will be missed.

Profound sadness was shared today regarding our loss of an exemplar professional. Ralph was my first assistant principal and asked for a two year sabbatical for his PhD. While he was away, I had three replacements for him. He was very good at his job. Many of our fellow educators have followed his career with a feeling of pride for his accomplishments. We pray for God's grace on his family.
