Sharon,
You and your family have my deepest sympathies in your loss of Ralph. I will always remember playing golf and bowling with you and Ralph many, many years ago. I worked with Ralph many years at the Refinery. I wish I could attend the Memorial for Ralph but will be out of town on Sunday. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
