Not sure what to say?

As a fan of the Bridge Bears website and a longtime educator, I have a great love for Ralph Welton's legacy. He is sorely missed by all the adult bridge players who have benefitted from his excellent and charming instruction. Best wishes to his family and friends.

Sorry to hear of Ralph Welton's death this year. I have enjoyed his bridge lessons over the past 2 years and have yet to find a good replacement. He will be missed.

I would like to contact Ralph's family about his bridge website. If possible, could someone please email me so I can explain what I'd like to do? My email can be found on my own bridge website at www.corneliayoder.com Regards, Cornelia

I thought his Bridge Bears teaching site was great, and he always responded promptly and helpfully to emails that I sent him. A great loss. My condolences to his family.

Mr . Welton was one of my favorite teachers! I had him for 4th grade at Cox. He led our overnight field trip to Glen Helen and it is an amazing memory. I´m so sorry for your loss.

Mr. Welton was one of my favorite teachers. I had him for first and fourth grade. He was always smiling and was just a wonderful person. My greatest memory of him was that he could solve the Rubiks Cube. We all would bring them to school for him to do because none of us could figure it out.

Mr Welton was a true gem! He was my 4th grade teacher during a big year of change for us Spring Valley kids! He made us all feel so welcome after they close SV elementary and we were all transferred to Cox. My favorite memory is dancing to Thriller at recess! He loved music and added into our daily activities! Rest in peace, Mr Welton. You were truly one of my greatest teachers!

I knew Ralph in several capacities. I worked with him, he taught my children and we were friends. An amazing teacher and a truly good soul. Much love to his family and friends.

I worked with Ralph at Cox when I first started teaching! He was a really good teacher who cared deeply for his students! We were a close faculty back then. I am sorry for his family and k ow he will be truly missed!
