I still cannot believe that Uncle Ralph has left us. He was truly the funniest man I ever knew. I'll always cherish the times we spent with him and Jan. Although usually brief, they will always be special memories. I'll miss you, Dummy.

My Uncle Ralph was a special man. He was always so generous and good and yes, crazy funny. We loved his humor. I'll miss him, it just seems unreal. So many special memories - for all our family. I love you Aunt Jan, Rhonda, Ralphie and the girls and am praying for God to comfort you as only He can. RIP Uncle Ralph.
