Mr. Konkel



I would like to extend my sympathies regarding the death of Ralph.



I was the QMRP on Cottage 18 for almost two years 2001. I loved Ralphie Duck to pieces and would sometimes have to take him into Goodwill program in Racine when he would not cooperate in the morning and miss his ride. He just loved going with me and would cheer up right away and have a good day. He liked to spend time in my office telling me about the ducks he would see at the pond and his girl friend.

He was greatly loved and will be missed

I'm so sorry about your loss, Mr.

Konkel, I worked with Ralph on Ctg 6

12,and Garner. Ralph was very dear

to me, tho I did'nt know him as Butch, I called him Ralphie Duck,because you use to take him to

see the ducks in Burlington every Sunday. Tho I've been retired many

years I would think of him often, and all the funny things he would say, and do. I admire you for coming to seeing him every Sunday. I

remember one Sunday you brought me

some miniture ceramic ducks. I just

wanted you to know that Ralph never

left my heart, even if I did'nt work

with anymore

Bless you, and Bless Ralph

Sadly Mrs. Davidson
