Ralph J. Doles Jr.

Capt. Doles, you will never be forgotten. You treated everyone with respect and told them how you saw it. I respect that. We talk about you often and how great a man and leader we thought you were. I consider it an honor that I got to work with you. You will never be forgotten!

Kim and Tory,
Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your dad. Unfortunately, we found out late on Friday. Your dad was a kind, honest man with an unforgettable laugh. When you girls were young and he had a Sunday off, he occasionally would bring you over to our house on Arms Ave. in Euclid to play with our girls. As years passed, we would run into each other and get caught up . Please know that you and your family are in our prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Doles family, extended family, former co-workers and countless friends. My God continue to keep you in his loving embrace for all the days that follow.

Kimberly, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

I will light a real candle at Mass this Sunday. It may be over 40 years, but we were both Sig Eps together. RIP brother Ralph.

Ralph, thank you for taking me under your wing with the FBINAA Ohio group. You truly made me feel welcome. God speed, my friend.

On behalf of the Painesville Church of the Nazarene softball team, we will miss Ralph, our brother in Christ. I look forward to the day when we meet again in Heaven. May God grant you peace at this difficult time.

Fond memory - drove to Sanibel with Ralph in his silver Olds that he called "Bullet" back in ? 1980. Had a great time in Sanibel with Ralph and his brother Ed. Bob Beck

We so miss Ralph! So thankful for the truths from God's Word that tell us He is in His Savior's presence (2 Corinthians 5:6-8). May these great and precious promises enable you to find stability and peace as you walk forward in life (2 Peter 1:4). In Peter's words, "partake of the divine nature!" This will be my prayer for you and the kids! That you will know the peace and stability and joy that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit know as you meditate on all that you and I know to be promises that Ralph is experiencing as fulfillment:)
Now straining to hear the trumpet!

Dear Charlene and family,
There are no words to express our heartfelt sympathy, but know that you ALL are in our thouhghts and prayers. Ralph was a good, fair, and honest man. There is a special place in heaven for him. " And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be nor more pain, for the former things have passed away." ANd He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all thing new!" And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
Much Love and Many Prayers,
Lucia and Zac McComb, Kim and Mark Clem

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

So sorry for your family's loss.

Enjoyed knowing Ralph through the years in law enforcement. He was such a joy to be around. He will be sorely missed. My love and sympathy to his family.

I am truly at a loss for words. He was a great guy. He retired and was truly happy with his life. He will be missed by the many friends he made over the years. My sympathies to both his family and family in blue.

It was a pleasure working with you for so many years at EPD. You were always a man of fairness, class, and integrity. You will be truly missed. Jim and Diana

I am so very sorry. Ralph has been a great and loyal friend as well as a role model of dedication. I am stunned and I will miss him. God bless you and the family and God rest Ralph now that he is home.

My condolences to the family.

I met Ralph about 15 years ago teaching defensive driving to police cadets in the basic police academy at Lakeland Community College. He was a "very" passionate instructor. He really enjoyed interacting with these future police officers. In conversations I had with Ralph over the years. It was very evident that his family, faith and profession were what made him happy.

RIP on Ralph.

I am very sorry for your loss . I will be praying for your comfort.

Ralph was a wonderful friend and tireless servant of Christ. I have shared many wonderful memories of him today with friends and family. On the way home from school, our girls talked about New Year's Eve and said it definitely won't be the same without Ralph and his pink flamingo slippers!

Our heartfelt sympathy to Charlie & all of Ralph's children & grandchildren. We are sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories of time shared with him. God Bless.

Ralph was always friendly, fun at softball games, one memory i had was when i was placing our Marine and Cross by the flag pole at the church and Ralph was cutting the grass and saw them and gave me a thumbs up, He will be missed,
