Ralph Meacham

Ralph graced us with his participation in the Liars Contest at Dickson Old Timers Day a time or two back several years ago. He was a great storyteller and a wonderful man. He was a man of the soil. He and I entertained a couple Rotary Clubs with back and forth tall tale telling. I'm sorry that we had lost touch in the last few years. I could have told Ralph the words I am writing here. It would have meant so much more.

I didn't know Ralph very well, but I know he always took good care of my cousin Kim and their two lovely daughters. His legacy will one of love living on in the hearts of everyone whose lives he touched. Much love from our family.

I shall miss you Ralph. I will miss seeing you at the 4H lamb shows. You are the last of the line for men who knew the hills and streams of the Meacham estate like the back of your hand. I spent many wonderful hours with your dad Harding -- some hours that were greatly rewarded in sales of
nearly 1100 acres of the land to the Judd family who still reside there. May God give you the peace that you so richly deserve. Your friend Frank Andrews

Ralph left footprints on every heart he touched. I am sure he is walking in green pastures this morning! God blessed Ralph and those he met along the way!
