Ralph G. Salem Jr.

I am sorry to read of Ralph’s passing. We’ve known each other for about 30 years. He would occasionally call me. We would banter back-and-forth. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this most difficult time.
May he rest in peace,

Ralph, you were quite a guy, always smiling and ready to help out. I worked with you for years as a Security guard summers at the track. I can't put into words how much you will be missed.

I met Ralph years ago, while working at Mt. McGregor..Ralph was friendly, thoughtful and could carry a nice conversation. On occasion, I would run into Ralph at St. Georges cemetery where he would spend time at the family plot......Ralph was a kind sensitive soul who cared deeply for his family and friends. My sincere condolences to his family and his beloved Cindy ( I always enjoyed catching up with Cindy at the BonTon). May Ralph rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord. And May God comfort...

Ralph was a very good friend to me. I worked with him for many years at Mt.Mcgregor.He was a very reliable and accommadating shift swapping partner for me.
Ralph would also come over my house occasionally to repair his vehicles. We would always have so much fun and I will never forget those times! Rest easy my friend until we meet again.

Ralph was one of a kind. Whenever you talked to Ralph you began and ended with a smile on your face. I’ll always remember the baseball team you put together with our kids at the last moment, called them the misfits, and ended up winning the Plattsburgh tournament. That was because of you Ralph. I remember my son Nick taking drivers ed with Ralph. He would come home and tell us somehow they always ended up at the racetrack! You will truly be missed my friend.

May he rest in eternal peace.

Ralph loved his family and loved Geneva NY. It was rooted in his childhood. As a boy, I couldn’t wait till he and his family would arrive for a visit. His dad, Ralph Sr. (my mother’s brother), grew up here. As soon as I got his call, I would tear over to my grandparent’s house and the wrestling, ball games, playing in the backyard around the creek, etc. would all begin. We were notorious for rough-housing and we’d often be told to rotate our activities around the circuit of other...

I am truely sorry for your loss. Ralph was a true friend & loyal to everyone at his job. We shared many laughs together. A true gentleman! Thank you Ralph for everything! You Sir, will be sorely missed... God's Blessings!
