Just saw this news about Ralph. Although I'm late to post, I feel compelled to say that Ralph was a kind and giving man. I worked at Rick's in the '80s with Jeff Jones, Joe Hanes, and many others -- good times and fond memories.

It is very sad to here about Ralph's passing. I worked at Rick's from 81 to 84 with great memories. Ralph was quick to help with car repairs and an occasional ride home in his 308 Ferrari. He will be missed..

I have such fond memories of Rick´s Burgers, enjoyed friends and food there for decades. While I never worked there my late best friend Allen Hubbard did, and it was clear to me that both customers and employees loved Ralph. Ralph was a good friend, Rest In Peace. Ciao

So sorry for you loss, I will always remember Ralph as a generous, funny and larger than life personality. He gave me a fun job and paid more then he had too, sold me my first motorcycle on a hand shake, and made it possible for me to meet the love of my life while working the register at Ricks. I owe him so much.
