Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of the loss of Ralph as well as the loss of his son Tommy. Tommy and I are second or third cousins - not sure which. Ralph sorely missed Mae but now they are together again. Ralph's race was run and won. How thrilling it must be to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." My thoughts and prayers are with the families as they mourn their loss.

Ralph was my right hand man setting chairs at Gold's Gym Harrisburg,with the SilverSneakers Fitness club. He will be missed with his sense of humor and willingness to help.

Growing up beside Mr Klinger was great and lots of fun. Mr Klinger was a kind, honest and alot of fun growing up beside him. My brother and I were friends with his kids. We have very fond and funny memories growing up beside him as a child. He would do anything for anyone and that includes our family. We couldn't have asked for better neighbors like Mr Klinger and his family. He is with the rest of him family now, so may he rest in peace with them.

I am so sorry to read of Ralph's passing. He was a fine, Christian gentleman. I got to know Ralph back in the 1950s when his Holsum Bread route came through our little town. He was my mother's bread man at South Hanover School. I later crossed paths with Ralph at the Harrisburg Post Office where we worked as clerks. Later we both became mail carriers. I have not seen Ralph in recent years but I know the World is a poorer place without him in it. RIP old buddy.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the love and prayers of your family and friends.
