Ralph was the nicest person I met. Man did he love music. He was always giving and never expected nothing in return. I will miss the late nights we spend in the garage working on radios and the gardens we planted in the summer. I will miss you old friend.

Ralph was the world's nicest guy, I was privileged to know him for the past 45 years. Got to see Fleetwood Mac in Wichita this past March, take a road trip to S. Dakota for a fireworks safety class this last May and have him go with Barb & I to see Billy Joel in Tulsa in November. Good times to the end. Rest in Peace Dear Friend.

Ralph was a dear friend. I dare say he was a better friend to me and to others than we all were sometimes to him. He struggled with certain things as we all do; part of the human condition. :-(
