Not sure what to say?

I offer my sincere condolences to the Tobiassen Family. Ralph was my first ASAC, too, at WFO when I was a young, new Agent. I cannot write it any better than Ron Lizotte did. I could actually see Ralph in my mind back at WFO as I read. While he often sternly referred to me as mere "pin on a map," he always found a way to motivate me and make me feel proud of my accomplishments. Ralph knew he worked all of us hard but he also knew he was setting the foundations of our success. My the Lord...

Dear Brett & Bridgette and the entire Tobiassen Family. Dawn and I wish to send our sincerest sympathy, and prayers in this time of mourning. Sorry that we are unable to attend but our thoughts are with you all.

Dawn and Family -
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I remember Ralph as a warm man, always smiling, pleasant and very friendly. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this trying time.

I worked for Ralph circa '78-'79 WFO. Tough but fair! May the good Lord bless and keep you.

Ralph was my first Agency boss, ASAC at WFO. I fondly remember him standing at the door of his office, looking over his glasses at the new WFO agents who might be in that day, seeing someone (often me) who cought his interest, motioning with his index finger for that Agent to come into his office for a "discussion" of a particular case. For a new agent attempting to show his/her best, it was reminescent of being called into the principal's office :). He was a good teacher who inspired me...

Wayne and Family:
Words are hard to find during this difficult time. Please know that my prayers are with you and your family.

We remember Ralph very fondly from Phi Sig and the University of Maryland and seeing him occasionally at the Agency over the years. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
Nancy & Grady Vickers

Brett and Bridgette,

My condolences and sympathies during this difficult time for you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you through this sad time. Hold dear the memories of a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. I will always remember the times we chatted and laughed at Dawn & Bob's house and the visits to Betty & Ralph. All my love Cheryl Knipe
