Krista, My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Thank you for bringing your Dad into the restaurant; I so enjoyed your visit that day. I will always remember Ralph as a very kind and very gracious man. May the Lord bless and keep you and your family during this sad time.

Krista, my sympathy to you and your family. Ralf was a wonderful neighbor and friend. Over the past five years he was a part of our family. The kids loved to visit him and Peppy and tell him long winded stories that he would patiently listen to. Sometimes they would race into his house just to get a peek or chase peppy around him inevitably tying his legs together with the leash. He was a great drinking partner. He didn't so I did. we would sit in his driveway discussing my latest back yard project. He always supervised from his yard and usualy entertained the kids, which freed me up to get something done. Our family will miss him dearly and the kids know he is in heaven watching over them. If you need anything please call.

God Bless,

Marcello & Tonia Luna, Maya, little Marcello, Annamaria, and Amelia
