Dear Carol, Pam and Mike,
I am deeply saddened to learn of cousin Ralph's passing. I fondly remember the days, when as kids, we lived across the street from one another on Lowry Road in Erie (Harborcreek Township), PA.
Ralph was more than a cousin, her was one of my Best Friends. Our families shared a great bond of love, mutual respect and friendship. My memories of those good times will remain with me forever.
Rest in peace, Ralph, until we meet again.
With Love, John

I am a volunteer at Bert Fish. I first met Ralph close to 2 years ago as I work the afternoon shift when Ralph was on Friday mornings. He was such a nice, quiet, friendly man. I was shocked today to hear the news. My sincere condolences to the entire family.
