Ralph was my supervisor back in the 70's at AOS. I could not have asked for a better man to work for. It was a pleasure and honor to know him. I still tell people about him to this day.

Gary--
Many fond memories of joking with your Dad. He had a great laugh and smirk when he was giving us kids the business.
My Dad, Clarence Harms--almost 93-and the rest of the family are holding you in in prayer.
