Ralph Kelley Ungermann

I will always be grateful to Ralph for his inventiveness - inventiveness that allowed thousands of people to be employed, and investors to profit, paving the way for so many to buy homes, send their children to college, get healthcare, comfortably retire. He made a difference in countless lives - never taking credit for the fact that it was his creativity that lifted so many. Did we butt heads from time to time? You bet we did! People would hear us when the conference room door was shut...

It was a pleasure working for Ungermann Bass and having an opportunity to meet you. My condolences go out to your family.

I had the pleasure of working with Ralph as a member (officer) of the UB Users Group and of course a customer of UB. I always enjoyed our conversations, his listening to our needs as consumers and his positive approach. Wonderful person whom I admired and respected.

Thank you Ralph. You were a one of a kind visionary and a great person as well.

My condolences on this great loss not only to you, his family but to the world at large. I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Ungermann on several occasions when my now former husband, Dennis Lynn worked at UNGERMANN-BASS in the '80's. Dennis really enjoyed working at UB. He said Ralph the best boss he ever had. I remember his sense of humor, as was evident at one ROMAN TOGA PARTY. I still laugh. Ralph really was an awesome individual and he is greatly missed.

I remember the company from my earliest days in DP

I met Ralph several times in Shanghai and at one time asked him to join our Board. he was the most sincere, smartest man I have ever met and his loss will be felt by many.

I have being working in UB Japan for 5 years knowing Ralf as my best CEO in my life even now. Visiting HQ. Ralf always shared his smile and friendly talk to me. One day when I ask Ralf to come to Japan and meet our office staff and customer, he immediate set the date and visited Japan several time. It was my honor to host him all the time in Japan. My big memory with Ralf was to visit Mr. Son of Softbank in an old days from now. I have learned a lot from Ralf, and I still keep my mind...

It was a privilege to work in the executive offices of Ungermann-Bass in the mid-80's and support Ralph directly. He was a kind and quiet, yet powerful leader. He is gone too soon. My prayers and condolences are with Scott & Annette, your families and all who loved him well. Goodbye RKU.

He was known by his middle name, Kelley, by family and close friends. I married him in 1961 and we had a strong partnership in many ways We produced two wonderful children, who just gave profound eulogies at his memorial. We also worked together to help found LOGCAP, a logic simulation program, and ZILOG. Our divorce was amicable and we both went on in different paths, but our paths always crossed because of our children and grandchildren. We both loved them dearly and prized them above...
