Ann, I was grieved to find out this news. Ralph's obituary in the Observer was so moving...the young man with such promise that I knew in college grew into a great man, I can see. I cherish the memories of the good times we spent together. You'll be on my mind in the coming days -- I wish you strength and peace.

Ann, when we missed you at Jackie's wedding, somehow I knew. My heart goes out to you and your children. I feel fortunate to have known Ralph ... and you. He is missed. Please don't be a stranger. LIOB, Betsy

Dear Ann, Jackie and Shawn, I am so sorry for your loss. While at Carolina, Ralph was a dear friend and teammate. He and I would alternate our tickets to the Carolina basketball game, so we could take another person. He treated me as a brother and will
be missed. So sorry for your loss.

My brother, sister and myself (Bill Duke, Melanie Duke Ervin, Donna Duke McClure) grew up with Ralph and Byron on Tarletan Drive in Matthews, NC. We had great times together waiting for our school bus each morning. Great memories in the classes at Matthews Elementary we had together. Ralph was one of those people you just don't forget, one in a million. Without a doubt he will be missed by many that knew and were touched by him. Please know that the Duke family wishes the Walthall family...

We will always remember the fun times in our child hood.Ralph was such a great person as well as friend.I'll remember that big smile he always had on his face.God bless and keep you through this hard time and always.
