Ralph L. Sweet III

With love to the Sweet family. You are like my own.

I was sorry to hear the sad news of Ralph's passing. Knew Ralph from elementary on through to high school. Had not seen him since graduation. Lots of fun playing football with Ralph whether organized Pee-Wee or Gil Dobie or a pick-up game in the park. Or just hang'in out. He was a good guy then, and it sounds as though he continued to be that way into adulthood. A sad loss. My condolences to his family and close friends.

Ralph, you were always great to work with at the park. I hope you have found a new dive site where you are now to enhance with not only you your work but more importantly, yourself.

I knew Ralph in highschool and he was always the sweetest guy, no pun intended! But that's how I remember him, always so kind and sweet to everyone. Though I've not seen him in years I've often wondered how he was doing. I didn't know he was in the military or a member of my old union Local 174. RIP Ralph. He will be sorely missed. All my best and deepest condolences to his whole family.

OK, OK, Ralph, I went and bought my Seahawks t-shirt. I will forever think of you when wearing it. Since you were married to Linda I have known and loved you for quite some time and I must say you were that bright star that always shinned no matter what the occasion or circumstance. We were all blessed the day you became a member of our family. To my family, I hope you find comfort in knowing you all had the best of the best in a husband, father and grandfather, that you were deeply loved....

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories. Ralph will be missed so much. We are so very sorry for your loss and hope the love & support of family & friends will help you during this difficult time.

I first met Ralph (Ralphy) as a young boy, living in Laurelhurst with his parents and four devoted sisters. he always held a high position in the hearts of all who knew him. I will cherish my memories of that impish little guy who grew into a special man much admired for his good heart.

It's sad to see one of our own pass away, but at least he was doing something he loved when it happened.

So sorry to hear this news through Kelly Burke via Grover Smith. The Yellow Freight and YRC people will remember Ralph fondly.
