Ralph William Lewis

Ralph Lewis was a a very loyal & honest friend. He helped me learn how to believe in people again. He will be in my heart & spirit, never to be forgotten.

I looked up to him. He always had words of wisdom. He loved nature & taught me so many good things.

Ralph called me Deej only him said my cooking was killer. Said I was the best mother-in-law ever I loved him

I'll never forget him turning a long driving trip from Miami to Ohio into a grand adventure. We went to Isle of Mirada, then to Everglades, swamps in Georgia, a beautiful lake in South Carolina, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, and our old house in North Carolina, up a crazy mountain goat path because the interstate was closed, and on to home. Just Dad, Phoenyx, and me. He was so happy in the Keys. But laughed so hard when the wind at blowing rock sucked off 2 year old Phoenyx's shoe and hat and blew them over the mountain. I will miss him dearly.

When I first met Ralph I thought he had a presents like Charles Bronson. What I mean is he didn't have to be angry to know he wasn't someone to mess with. We became quick friends.
