Rusty, My thoughts are with you & your family , we've all had losses and know that nothing anyone can say or do right now can lessen any pain you feel...But remember theres a reason God gave us memories & those memories will always put a smile on your face. Your dad was an amazing man,he always let me know when he had a concern for someone elses safety which showed how caring he was. I was stunned by some of the things he did for others.....hang in there!

Rust Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Ralph for years and I always enjoyed listening to his stories. He was so proud of his tattoo and of course, always had to talk about "legs" - definetly a leg man :) Please know that my thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.
