Ralph was truly a southern gentleman. I remember so many times when my son Matt Devlin was a teenager, Ralph would call and say "Is Matt home, we are working cows this weekend and I sure could use his help. That boy has good cow sense" He loved helping all the local kids during Fair time in Indian River County and they all loved him. Ralph you will always be in our hearts and minds.

Chris, Sean and Family, including Pierre...It's always difficult to let a dear one go, particularly someone as kind, competent and heroic as your darling Ralph. In a way, he belonged to all of us. When my husband and I moved to Vero Beach in 1983, one of the first stories we heard was that of the Sextons and their innumerable contributions to this community. Ralph will be surely and sorely missed. He has left so many thoughts and gifts behind for all of you, but for all of Indian River County...
