I had the pleasure of spending some time with Ralph when I was a kid. He always, ALWAYS had a smile and kind words for me and anyone else he encountered. He was one of those really rare people that you wish the world was full of.
Diane, Michelle & family, we love you very much and are so deeply sorry for your loss. I will do my best to pass the same kindness to others that Ralph showed to all who knew him.

Aunt Diane and family, my heart aches with yours at the loss of Uncle Ralph. Talking with him on the phone was always such a joy. He reminded me so very much of Daddy; they even said "Hello" the same. I am proud to have been the niece of such an awesome man. I know he and Daddy are having a grand old time together in Heaven now. My prayers are with you as you go through this most difficult time. Love, June Susan Miller McGraw

Diane & family - I don't remember how the three of us met but when we did I knew Ralph was a grand gentleman and to meet you only made the grandness more clear. He always had a smile and a good word of hope or highlight on the day. If a man ever wanted an example of living right and true, all he had to do was look to Ralph. A better man is hard to find. Hugs and blessings.

"Uncle Ralph" was an amazing man! I am so grateful for the impact he and Aunt Diane have had on our family. I can't pick a single "favorite memory" of him, but most do involve him tricking us with his "hand". Prayers for Aunt Diane, Pam , Michelle, Margie and the rest of the family during this time.

Good thoughts and wishes to you Dianne, as you head into the next journey of your life. I am so sorry for your loss, and after watching my parents, I have an idea of the hole that has been left in your home and heart. Many in Fairbanks love you and are sending that love your way.

There is no other way to say it than that meeting the Millers changed my life for the better. Ralph was a principled gentleman with a big heart. I bought my first house from him, lived with the Millers when my marriage was in transition, had many meals with the family and always was treated as part of the family. Fairbanks and many friends and family members have lost a very special man. Love, George

Diane, I am so sorry to hear about Ralph. Although I have not seen much of you both in the last years I thought of you both often. After Daddy died he became a part of my life. I loved him very much. I will miss him .

Ralph always gave his all to his family, friends, state and nation. We were all blessed to have known him.
I adored him for taking me on my one and only small plane ride and not laughing too hard at my panic when he did a 180.
Ralph was always willing to share his knowledge and was a great teacher for me when we were selling real estate.
Remember these words by Dr. Seuss:
"Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened".
Diane and Family my thoughts are with you at this time and I wish you strength and peace.

The Miller family was an important part of my life in the mid-80s. I appreciate all you did for me and my sons. Ralph was a particularly important person to me and I have always admired his integrity and his efforts to make the most of his life, no matter what obstacles were placed in his path. I'm glad to have known him as a friend and to have had him as someone to look up to. My love and sympathy to the Miller family.

Ralph was my only real grandfather. I will miss our "guy" time in the garage and I will miss his wisdom and kindness.
Love you grandpa.

Ralph and Diane blessed others with their great outlook on life. Ralph might not agree, but he was such an inspiration to others; he didn't let things get him depressed. I was always impressed with his attitude. To top it off, he was an interesting guy and had great stories. My condolences to Dianne and family.
