As a child I always enjoyed coming out to see the family & especially to the lake is was so quiet & peaceful, especially early mornings.I will never forget the time you taught me how to ski, I was like a fish out of the water just flopping back & forth, but I finally caught on. I enjoyed the last couple of summers playing cards with you & Aunt Joyce , what great memories, you will be missed very much, but I know your in heaven with Gramma ,Grampa,Great Gramma , Great Grampa,& my Dad,& Brother playing cards & enjoying yourself, until we meet again. Love you !Your loving Niece Cheryl

Joyce I was so sorry to read about Ralph. I have such fond memories of our growing up. I will always remember when he stayed with us on the farm near Jimtown. He and my brother Bob were such good friends then. Don Wachs

Fond memories of Ralph and his wife Joyce through the years. They were friends of my parents Maxine Wagner and the late Carl Wagner. Hugs and sympathy to the family from Maxine and myself. Perhaps you are playing table tennis with my father at this time.
