Ralph Jay Kaplan

He saved my life. I had just lost my father in 1989 and within 8 months, in 1990, when I was 26, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After successful surgery, I had to learn how to walk again, my speech was slurred, but that didn't last long. I was back at work in a month. Dr. Kaplan called me a miracle. HE was the miracle! I'm 62 years old now. RIP, Dr. Kaplan I love you.

Dr. Kaplan saved my life in 1990. My father died in 1989 and 6 months later, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 26. Rest in peace, Dr. Kaplan.

Fond memories of all the get together with the Mora family. We certainly loved the banter, the jokes and the familial love shared amongst us. Ralph has joined my father once again. A reunion of partners. Our deepest sympathies to Barbara, Damara and Karl.

Fond memories of Ralph & Barbara from Dilling family visits and Disney cruise. Sincere sympathy and love to Barbara and family. Cousin Brenda

Ralph, Although I missed participating with you in class parties, I always judged you as being one of the smartest in our class. It also has now come to my attention that you were born one day before I was. And aside from that being our common association, I may also commiserate with you regarding the frustrations associated with hearing impairment. Mine thus far does not match what you've experienced but it has progressed to the point that I must at least share with you the frustrations...
