Dear Lois - when Ralph "adopted Tim and Kim," he became a family member to all of us - he attended graduation parties, birthday parties, sports events and sometimes just a quiet dinner with us. My son, Nathan, thought the sun rose and set with Ralphy! Ralph would sit beside Nathan's wheelchair and include Nathan in every conversation. Ralph was the kindest man I ever have known. He and Nathan's father, Frank, became close friends as well and spent hours talking about hunting. I have a...

Dear Lois, Ralph was one of my favorite people. I know him from the Seabright Rod and Gun club in Warren Grove NJ. God bless you for taking care of him in his time of need. My prayers are with you and your family and of course for Ralph. We still talk about him today.

Dear Lois & Family, We knew Ralph when he lived in Bethel, Vermont. It was a privilege and honor to have known him. He was a very kind and caring man. He loved Vermont; his heart was here in the Green Mountains. He "adopted" our daughter, Kim, and son-in-law, Tim Aldgrighetti. We still remember his wonderful smile and sense of humor. Kind regards, Chuck & Sandy Adams

Dear Aunt Lois,
Thank you for always loving and caring for your brother and my Uncle Ralph. You kept his life light burning over the past 10 years. I know that your grief is great and it is my hope that this entry will soothe some of your pain by remembering the good times and wonderful life that Uncle Ralph led in his healthy years. Truly something to celebrate!

We will always have fond memories of Ralph. Ralph loved his Vermont town of Bethel. He had many stories of the locals, of staying at the Bethel Inn, hunting on Christian Hill, and later in life, all the sporting events he attended with us at Whitcomb High Scool. He had a wonderful smile, and was always a friend to everyone he met. We will miss him dearly, but know that he is in a peaceful place. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family.
