Not sure what to say?

For some reason Ralph has been on my mind recently. Today I was saddened to read his obituary on MYSA.com. He and Norma were our neighbors in San Antonio -- probably the best neighbors we could have! We lost touch after moving away from Texas, but they remain in our hearts.
Sincere condolences from the Skiles family!

I lost touch with Ralph and missed hearing from him. Cousin, Jackie Ziegler Hebner

Ralph grew up a few blocks from me and all in the neighborhood got to play often. I them lived closer to his parents when I had my own home. A great family. My sympathy to his family. Dorothy Ablett Hacker

Dr Ziegler was a fine officer and gentleman in the USAF.
My condolences to the family!
Dr Leo Cropper (USAF retired)

Doug & Amy, Dave & Debbie, our condolences and prayers are with you. Ralph was a special cousin to Joan and I, we attended High School with Ralph and I was in the same graduating class. Ralph had a nickname of "CARP". This tag was applied after a fishing expedition on the Kaskaskia River in New Athens, with cousin, Allen Analla and I. We caught a washtub full of carp. Ralph insisted we clean them and have a fish fry. Aunt Minnie & Uncle Emil consented and it happened, the name too! ...

Thinking about Uncle Ralph and remembering all family in prayer.

Norma was my office mate, colleague, and friend at San Antonio College. She and Ralph were wonderful people. I had no idea he was still in San Antonio. We moved some years ago. I wish we had kept in better touch. My condolences to the entire family.

Doug & Amy, Dave & Deb...So sorry for the loss of your Dad. Our thoughts & prayers are with you & your families. May God Bless!

Ralph & I spent a lot of time together when we were growing up so I always felt a special bond with him. Memories include Sundays at Aunt Bertha & Uncle Jake Portmans' house when all our families came together. Summer vacations staying at their house with Ralph, Joan (Portman) Fishbein, Bill Portman & my brother, Allen Analla.

The boys always went...

My sympathy in your grief on Ralphs passing .Hewas a great guy for all the years I knew him . Best Wishes to all related to him Don Mueller ,New Athens, IL.
