Only learned of Ralph's passing the day after his funeral. My family bought their last home and we have really enjoyed at the special touches he added. Was told that he made several beautiful pieces for St. Greg's church. The world will miss a generous and talented person,

Stephanie, Chris, Jackie, and Candace,

When I think of Uncle Ralph, I have so many fond memories that make me smile. The picture that comes to mind immediately is how his face lit up when he smiled with that dimple in his cheek! Your dad and mom were so helpful to my mom and dad when dad was ill and we were always so grateful to them for that. We hope your memories and knowing your mom and dad are together again will bring you peace. We are sorry we cannot be with you tomorrow. We will be thinking of you and keeping all of you in our prayers. Sending our love, Deb and Ron
