Not sure what to say?

My dad worked with Ralph at Moeller when I was growing up. When I worked at the nursing home, I loved stopping by and seeing him and giving him hugs. My heart goes out to Tonia and everyone else in his family.

It was an honor & true blessing to care for Ralph. My condolences to you & your family. In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I'm so sorry to read of Ralph's passing. We were classmates all through school at Bluffs Grade and High School.

I was blessed to meet Ralph later on in his life. He was always so patient and kind to me. I was blessed to be one of his caregivers. A good memory I have is one day we were talking about my first car. My first car was a 1969 Buick Skylark and he knew all about the car. He will always have a special place in my heart. What a one-of-a-kind gentleman. My heart goes out to all of you as you prepared say, "farewell", to someone who means so much to you.
