Not sure what to say?

Today is a sad for me. My dear old friend, Ralph Probst passed away. Ralph was 87 years old and lived a pretty good life. He raised great kids and I know and love them all. Ralph was my bowling partner in senior states and in a couple of leagues. He was my FRIEND! I will miss him dearly. His heart just couldn't take it any more and it finally quit. I have a lot of memories and will treasure them always. He is now at rest. The last year had been pretty tough for him as he couldn't drive or...

I remember the day we were moving into our house, Ralph was the first person to greet us. Over the last 14 years we've had the pleasure of having Ralph as wonderful neighbor and watching him working in his garden, crawling up in the tree in the front of the house with the chain saw trimming limbs, meticulously manicuring his yard, listened to hunting stories, bowling stories, stories from the grandkids sporting events and our favorite was seeing Ralph riding his bike around the church...

My friend, teammate and brother-in-law,Dave Probst will now have his hunting and fishing buddy by his side again. God Bless the Probst family.

My Dad and Mr. Probst had some fantastic times at the post football game Chi Psi happy hours! He was a great Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and a true Brother to all of us. A Family Man who was the best of the best. You will be missed, but never forgotten. YITB..LU '78

Ralph was a good man! Always!! He was always patient and he sincerely cared about what others thought and how they felt.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Probst. Grew up with and played sports with the Probst boys. Lots of great memories including the 57 chevy, his beagles, fishing, and him kicking some butt when we were mischievious. We had the classic childhood and the Probst family was a huge part of that.
He was always in great shape and strong as an ox. That man never stopped. Three years ago he was in a tree with a chainsaw trimming branches!
