I am proud to have met and worked with Ralph at Calico Coal. He always had a great time with us and we all enjoyed working together with him. Josh worked there too and my special heartfelt condolences go out to him. Our sympathy and prayers of comfort go out to Becky and the others in the family.

Go rest high on that mountain Ralph, we will all see you someday soon.
