In deepest sympathy to Ralph's family, children and everyone who loves him. I had the honor and pleasure of Knowing Ralph for about 10 years. Even though for the last several years we would only see each other in passing, we would always greet one another with a freindly smile a handshake and a pat on each others back. In every conversation, he would always mention his children, even though I have only had the pleasure of knowing his 2 sets of twins, he would tell me about his children as a whole. I am very proud to say that I knew him. May God bless his soul, his children and the hearts of all who loves him and will miss him.

It will be the little things that you will remember the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now,
it will be the memory of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again...
Just to let you know how very sorry I am...
Those who live in the hearts of others; Never die...
Ralph was a very close friend of mine since '98, he was a very special friend, man and father... He will be missed!!!
Blessings!!! My prayers are with you.

Crystal called and told me and I still can't believe it. I am so happy God delivered you before you left this Earth. Let your soul be at rest. Now you can watch over Rayel, Eljada, O.C. & J.T. be their guardian angel as they walk this life without their father. Peace be still.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wellman,

I know that Shane has told you how much Ralph meant to all of us on the BAT Team. I wanted you to know he was truly a genuine, lovely person who had no malice for anyone and always tried to see the best in people. May God be with you in your time of sorrow.
