My mom just told me that Ralph passed away. She just today found out, not having heard in time to pay her respects personally. She is so deeply saddened by the news. Their friendship spanned more than 50 years, and he will be greatly missed. My mom continued to call your dad regularly, and to go to visit him at Chai Point. They were always so glad to see one another, recollecting the old days and sharing the comfort of old friends. We are all so sorry for your loss. May his and your mother's memory be a blessing.

Scott, I have many fond memories of working with your Dad. My condolences to you and your family. Valerie Smith

One word describes RALPH JANKINS, the word is "MENSCH". MENSCH means more than a gentle man, and more than an ethical human being.
RALPH JANKINS was a role model for his family, for his friends and for his business partners and clients.
MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING FOR ALL WHO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING HIM AND LOVING HIM.
