I first met Ralph in the winter of 1964 at his grandmother's house. Then in 1966 I transferred to Ross Sterling High School. I was glad to renew my friendship with Ralph. I was active in the Teen Democrats with him. He became a part of my life for 44 years.His family even gave me a place to live when I was kicked out of my house by my mother.

Rest in peace my old friend. My deepest sympathies to your family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

First, I want to extend condolences to Ralph's close friends and family. I also have to smile when thinking back to the times when Ralph and I spent a lot of time together. He was willing to try to get things done when others wouldn't, loyal when working side by side, and he was there as my friend when I needed one. Through ups and downs, I know Ralph was always a Texan who was on the side of the angels, and there may we find our peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing
Ralph Ray Wallace and his father, Ralph Wallace.
Both were very fine men, and they both will continue to be missed.
God Bless the family.

Dear Kathy and Family,
I managed Ralph's first campaign for State Rep in 1976 and went on to work in his legislative office in 1977.
I just heard about Ralph's passing and wanted to express my sincere sympathy to you. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts.
Warmest regards,

Ralph and I were suitemates in the State Capitol Building during his first term in the Texas House of Representatives. He was a gentle person dedicated to serving the State of Texas. I will miss him.
