Our family was so sad to hear of Ralph's passing. We found ourselves reminiscing the good times we had as your neighbors in Dayton with Ralph at the helm. He was an intelligent man whose family hailed from the same heartland as our family and with whom we enjoyed his enthusiasm for sharing stories over the years. Our prayers are with you in your time of loss.
