We had many great times as kids. There's probably no one who even knows who I am and how Ralph knew me. However, it would have been nice to spend some later years together. I miss you buddy.

It sure would be great to see Ralph again. We were friends during high school and a little beyond. I'm glad to have this moment to reflect on the past. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ralph since I was a teenager and he was a great friend and father figure to me for 30 years. He was so much fun to be with! A magnetic personality that you couldn't help but be drawn to. I miss you so much Ralph, but I know you'll be the mayor of heaven! I'm so deeply sorry and saddened for the family's loss.
