Ralph White

Dear Ruby, Trace, Brett and Kathy,
I got the news here in Melbourne only two days ago. You know how much I loved and admired Ralph; he was such a valued mentor for me, in so many dimensions. I'm so glad I had the many visits with both you and Ralph over the past decades. He was, and remains by his example and my memories of him, my most important teacher. We'll hope to see you again, dear Ruby, next time we come through Texas (maybe this June).
Love,
Chip

Sincere and heart-felt condolences to Ruby, Trace, Brett, Kathy and other family members. You all know, better than I, what a treasure he was. His wit and joy and love will be forever in my heart and mind, along with some of the best and happiest memories of my life. I love you all, Aggie oxoxox P.S. In my mind's eye, I see his eyes twinkling. What a gaze!

Dearest Ruby, Trace, Brett and Kathy, After speaking with you the other day, so many wonderful memories of Ralph flooded me. As children, the "Kypke clan", I guess there were 6 or 7 of us kids at the time in West Lake Hills, loved him so much. I remember how excited we were to run through the woods to Mr. and Mrs. White's house. Ralph always had a smile and hug for us. He had different names for some of us. Kim and I were "Hey, Miss America"!, Thaxton was, "The Rifle" and little John was,...

I was your student at the University
I wont forget your influence on me. I am writing as though you can hear and maybe you can but I wish that I had the opportunity before now.

I wish we had more stories of Ralph but the handful we do have are deeply enjoyed to the breadth of our souls because that is how impressionable Ralph was. He was fun to be around and always left you lingering for your next visit. He elicited the spirits in you to come out and enjoy the moment while observing all the angles of life.

Ruby, we love our friendship with you and look to spend more fun & time with you. Peace & Love.
