I met Ralph back when I worked at Southtown Mall. We stayed in touch for a long time. And it turned out that his sister Grace is the Mother-in-law of one of my Nieces. Ralph and Mary were very sweet. But we lost touch after a while. I'm always going to remember Ralph, his girlfriend Mary, Mary's daughter Nikki, and Nikki's son Christopher! Ralph and I were always joking around. He had a great sense of humor and was such a sweet man.
R.I.P. Ralph!!
