Dad,Happy Birthday 1-7-07. I bet everything is going good for you and mom and everyone else. Jeno made Ranger, you'd be so proud of him. Chris is off to Kansas and then to Iraq. Wedding plans are going good. Really miss you. Taking care of the house, etc. Keep on watching over us.
Love, Terry

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, DAD, MOM AND EVERYONE UP IN THE PEACEFUL SKIES. It was so different without you being there this year. We had a great dinner, but still wasn't the same. It'll never be the same, but we'll be together to celebrate one day. Everything is going along. Jeno is still in Ranger school, has two more weeks to go. He needs all the help you guys can give him to get through this last phrase. Chris looks good. And oh, yeah, I'm sure you know about Angela, she's engaged. You...

Hey Dad,
I really miss. I've been taking care of the bills, just like always, still going in at least once a week. JP is staying there and is keeping an eye on the place. He's respecting it pretty much. It's been so lonely without seeing you there on Mondays, but I'm sure you're up there with mom and the rest of the family and watching over us. We all miss you so much. It's so hard to believe.

Ralph was a colleague and friend a half century ago when I was still a college student and working part time for my father, Joe Bartell, who was Ralph’s employer at the time.

To all the family members he leaves behind I extend my sympathies and condolences. I have remembered Ralph and all of you at...

Bruno, Terry and Sam:

Ralph was a wonderful neighbor, always looking out for us. Domingo (Dominic) enjoyed many fun moments with him, tinkering under his car or watching a boxing match. We will miss the distinctive sound of his car horn calling Dominic out to "play" and his watchful presence in the window as we came home in the evening. His absence will be strongly felt. May our heavenly Father give you strength to accept this loss and the peace that comes from fond memories.

YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED UNCLE RALPH. MAY YOU FINALLY KNOW PEACE AND TRANQUILITY IN HEAVEN. MAY BRUNO, TERRI AND SAMMY KNOW YOU AND MY FATHER WILL KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE IN ETERNAL PEACE.
