I worked with Ralph and I was his training officer when he came to work at Cols. PD. He then worked for me for several years. We always were the best of friends. I know that he is in a more deserving place.

Ralph was my late husband, Jerry D. Cotner's, brother. I sure enjoyed the times we spent together at Ralph & Nell's cottage on the backwaters in Alabama - I caught my first catfish there and found out they talk. I'll miss you - you are now with Ma, Dad, and brothers Jerry and Larry. Love & God Bless, Emily Cotner Henson

Although it has been many years since I have seen Uncle Ralph, I have fond memories of visiting Georgia and Alabama while on family vacations. I can still close my eyes and go back to those times, and I can almost smell those catfish frys with all those yummy hush-puppys that Aunt Nell would make. Thank You Uncle Ralph for being apart of those wonderfull memories, and God Bless.

As an Assistant DA, I was very impressed with Ralph's professionalism and his duty to law enforcement. After his retirement, he continued to be a friend and always enjoyed discussing old times.
