The 'rooms' will not be the same now that Ralph will no longer be in them.
I hope peace and serenity is with his family at this time.

Please accept my condolences on our loss of Ralph. He was a great guy who helped me to "trudge the Road of Happy Destiny". I'll miss his conversation and wit.

Lois, John and family ~

Ralph (Buddy) and I grew up as best friends. We lived across the street from each other on 17th Street in Kenmore and were constant companions.

We, as did Ellen, started first grade at Smith School in 1938 and graduated from Kenmore High in the class of 1950.

After graduation our lives seemed to move in different directions but I will cherish forever the fond memories of our youth.

Ralph will be sorely missed by his friends in AA. He was a wonderful example of how to live and succeed at sobriety.
