Not sure what to say?

Over the past 24+ years that I worked with Ralph, I always found him to be such the gentlemen and always willing to help out. Ralph helped me start my journey to find God and I will always remember him as a child of God. Now that he with the All Mighty, along with his love ones that have pasted before him, we know he is truly happy.

Fondly remembered.....

Working with Ralph was always a pleasure. He was such a gentlemen -always up-beat. We both had family in PA and it was fun to talk about our visits there. Ralph gave me a recipe for Carrot Cake MANY years ago. I still make it and it's always a hit. I'll miss your Ralph!

I am one of the many co-workers that Ralph made a lasting impression on. Ralph and I began our friendship and working relationship over seven years ago. We often had serious talks regarding our deep religious beliefs, and his health - as well as light hearted talks about his travels, food, people, books, music - you name it, we touched on it. I miss not seeing him everyday. Right now I feel extreme sadness for not being able to work with him and see him - but at the same time know that he is...

I was first introduced to Legum & Norman in 1973, and one of the first people I met there was Ralph Kroll. So I knew Ralph 31 years as a client, an owner and most recently as a co-worker.

And because his church and my church have each had their own high-profile problems in recent years, we never lacked things to talk about. My heart...

Ralph and I became friends as he and I discussed his cancer treatments. My brother was experiencing a similar battle and he always felt that our conversations made him feel better. The last time he and I went out for drinks, it became apparent to me that what little I was doing for him was far less than the comfort he gave me. Towards the end, it was hard to see Ralph as sick -- he never complained to me and always tired to make me feel better without regards to his situation. I always knew...

May God bless you

Ralph will be dearly missed by everyone who had the privelege of knowing him.

I only knew Ralph for a year and a half, but I remember his smile and his laughter, which never failed to make my day better, even when everything seemed to be going wrong. I will always remember him.

Ralph,
Will always be remembered in our hearts. He will truly be missed.
