Brother I support your life decisions and I understood most of them.....I did not support you not reaching out in the last days but, I understand you had to be in a very dark place of no one's fault....Lynn was there for you in a pure way... I am glad you had her and you will always be in my heart....Boy how I miss you and our talks as well as our time together...I miss your sarcasm and quit wit as well as the many laughs we had....

Son,today I was reading messages and looking at pictures and videos from your phone. I keep the phone charged even though it can´t be used to call on. That makes me feel close to you and we can share your videos with family and friends. I love and miss you more each day. Mom

We love you brother ... your celebration of life is/was evidence of a very loved, liked and well respected man. So many people ... so much kind sentiment shared. You would have enjoyed the party. You were always there for, and with, us and we were always there for you. You are forever in our hearts until we see you again.
Paula and Bob, Geeg and Brian, your bonus-mother Deb, your beautiful Lin and your niece and nephew want you to know that you are loved beyond measure. We miss you.

Ralph, we used to hypothesize about the great unknown. Ill See you, or not, on the other side my friend, so rest easy. To Ralphs family, and most especially Lindsay, my deepest, deepest sympathies are for you. I hope you never wonder how precious you were to Ralph, I know there was nothing on this planet more special to him. Ralph could fill with laughter as well as he could fill the Honda store fridge full of bottled water. Your friends at the dealership, each and every one of us, will miss you so...

So so sorry to hear this. I knew Ralph as a young boy and I recently ran into him at his place of work. We had a couple of laughs and I couldn't believe he was all grown up. It was a nice conversation and I saw him several more times. My genuine condolences go out to his family and his fiance'

What a tremendous loss. I worked with Ralph at Serra Honda. He always made me laugh. He had such a great sense of humor. We would sit and chat for a while about life and his love for his dogs and how much he loved to cook. My heart is broken As I am sure many other hearts are broken also. My heart goes out to his friends and family. Heaven gained another angel way too early.

LOVE you my dear brother ... you will be missed. You were a part of every family gathering, birthdays and celebrations. Your presence was always valued and enjoyed. Your sweet Lindsay (Lin, as you would affectionately call her) was your most valued possession and everyone knew it. This isnt an easy life and it has proven to be extra hard for you. We were always in your corner and will remain in Lins because we know you would want that. Rest with Daddy ... hug the others, get to know your sister Lisa. YOU ARE LOVED❤
