It would be impossible to imagine a kinder, more intelligent, more interesting and insightful man....one of such good will and good humor. Ralph is the sort of person one will not forget. We always enjoyed his company and yours, Lorraine. We send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Nancy & Randy Bellamy
