My sincere condolences to Ralph's friends and family. Ralph touched many people in wonderful ways and was respected in the industry as a man of his word.

Also a great book to contrast to is "Father and Son Company," about Thomas Watson the founder of IBM. Both books have many interesting similarities, and it is worth contrasting them too.
