I'm so sorry for your loss, Ralph was such a wonderful man, I just adored him. He was the fun dad, growing up, he included me in many ski trips, he took me to my first drive in movie with the family, and I'll never forget him playing games with us outside. My love and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. Feel blessed that he was part of your lives.
