Ralph was a great guy, he was the one who signed me up as a Teamster--- that was 31 years ago. He was also my business agent. He was one of the good guys.

As a classmate of Ralph, whom I had not seen for I don't know how many years, the things that immediately came to mind when I heard of his death,were smiles, warmth, good-will toward everyone. I'm saddened to hear the news.

To all the Saar Family, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Ralph was sure a special person. A few of us went out to eat when he was back here to visit his brother a couple of years ago...lots of laughs...of course that was Ralph.
