My name, to my buddy, Ralph, is Bobby Slick. I just found out about Ralph´s passing. He and I met in about 1959. We were friends until I moved from IL to WI in 1969. During that time we were close friends.He had many virtues that family and friends have mentioned. The thing about Ralph that I most admired was his courage. He suffered from a serious mental condition that in those days and even now prohibits many people from living a useful life. But Ralph had the courage to beat this devil, live a full life and bring happiness and joy to others. May NR, the king of all of us "slicks" rest in peace.
