Our thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends. Ralph and Lois have been our neighbors for the past 13 years. He was always out and about even if it was just to walk down to the mailboxes. He loved to mow and he loved his family. The stories were endless but never tiring. We were greatful to have raised our kids next to such great neighbors. Ralph really made sure to watch out for all of us. When we were 1st moving in he came over to make sure we were there to steal the copper pipes lol. From that point on we knew we had picked a good block to live on. Everyone on our road has missed seeing him but we were all so glad he finally go to stay with the love of his life Lois. She was his world and I can see why. 72 years is amazing and really showed the love they had. Ralph- you will truly be missed by many. Thank you for being such a good neighbor. May God rest your soul and ease your families hearts knowing you are going to make one happy angel with that unforgettable smile. Rest easy now.
