We've lost an inspirational soul who made the world... and everyone he touched in it, brighter. A light went out and will be forever missed.

It was a long goodbye but the legacy survives. One doesn't meet many true visionaries in ones life, but Ralph was precisely that. He had the genius and the drive to implement his ideas (having the resources didn't hurt, either). I bless him for the opportunities he gave me, and I offer my sympathies to his family who rode at his side on a remarkable journey.

A great sadness for me to read of the loss of Ralph. He was a huge inspiration and mentor to me - changed the direction of my life. Always upbeat, innovative and helping to push beyond the norm.
Grief shared is divided and I extend my deep feelings of peace to Molly and the family.

So sorry for you all, and of course what an impactful life to reflect upon! The impact he and Molly have had on mine is monumental and I will always be grateful for his vision and willingness to take a risk, and to support ingenuity and ideas. Thank you Ralph for being one of a kind and the very best kind for me and so many.

My condolences to Molly and family over Ralph's passing. I met Ralph back in the 33 Dunster days and later whenever our paths crossed he was always smiling and willing to take a minute. Ralph one of a kind and a gentleman.
