Ralph will always be in my heart. From the 'Hello Sweetie' to the familiar chuckle to the aggravating quirks. All of it is what I'll remember about Ralph. I still have my ticket from the last Rolling Rock Race in Ligonier that he took his 'office girls' to in the convertible Lincoln! What fun! He was a hoot. I'll never forget him. Thanks for the memories Ralph.

Jan and I send our condolences. It was indeed a priviledge to know Ralph. What a terrific story teller; always enthusiastic and always ready to tell of another another adventure! A great person for sure and a tremendous friend to everyone he came in contact with. God Bless you Ralph as you begin your next great adventure.

To Mike, Mark, Linda, Mary and the entire McCarty Family... Ralph was to Adventure Tourism what Steve Jobs was to personal computing. I will always remember my first day of my guiding career on the Cheat Narrows watching him drive from put-in to take-out in his AMC Hornet. I was nervous, because I thought he figured out that I was only 17, and not old enough to guide. My career decision to start my own whitewater company on the Niagara has been deeply rooted by the visionary Ralph has been......
