I was just thinking of Ralph the other day. I was lucky to work for Ralph for a number of years, just a great person and an outstanding mentor who taught me many things. He probably was the smartest guy that I ever met , which combined with his compassionate attitude made him such a caring and great guy !!! RIP, Ralph, we miss you.
Sincerely,
Neil Hurley

As my former Wang colleagues have so eloquently stated, Ralph was a fine person and strong influence on our careers. He was a very smart real estate pro and a constant source of industry wisdom. However, everyone who knew Ralph from work had the same view: He was an even better human being than a professional.

For 40+ years Ralph was always there for me, and I highly valued our friendship. I will miss his laughter, camaraderie and upbeat personality even when his health was not the best. My sincere farewell to a great friend and a large presence in my life, along with my condolences to Shelia and their strong, devoted family.

Ralph was a hugely positive influence in my life. I could never thank him enough for all he did to shape me into a reasonable business person and as a better human being. To this day, some of the pearls of wisdom he imparted in sayings still come to mind as I’m thinking about situations.

The world has lost one of its truly good souls. But Ralph will never be forgotten by those who were fortunate to have known him.
