just this week my wife was sorting through old christmas cards she has kept over the years. and there was one from ralph. you knew it without opening it because there was ralphs's beautiful caligraphy writing. what a treasure he was. he used to come into my office to see me from time to time. he was a real joy. i'm thankful i got to know him. paul fulp

maybe family will never see this. but i just saw that Ralph died this year. he was one of my heroes. not that he knew it, but he was. i just talked about ralph and mildred in a message to my church about a month ago. blessings on his family. paul fulp

Ralph was s wonderful man, I am thankful for the time I was given in knowing and caring for him. He will be missed!

So sorry to hear about Ralph passing away. Ralph and Mildred were very dear friends of Curtis Coil and me. They were both patternmakers and enjoyed their trade. Curtis passed away in December 1998. I did talk to Ralph shortly after that time. And also talk to John. I have re-married and live in North Carolina. I recently re-read the last letter Ralph wrote me an enclosed a picture of himself. I would love to talk to John if he still has my telephone number. May the love of God surround his family with love.

He was an amazing gentleman. Enjoyed the time I was given with him.
