We have so many wonderful memories of Ralph from over the years!! Our family loves and adores him. He was always so loving and welcoming with all our kids. We spent many days at the pool with a picnic thrown in, time at the cabin (which are still the fondest memories from the kids' childhoods), going to dinner with Ralph and Grandpa and so many more! We loved visiting with him and loved his fun sense of humor.
We were so happy Ralph was able to come say goodbye to Larry in his last days and know they are now laughing and enjoying each other's company in heaven!
We love you Ralph
Kathy, Riley, Logan, Dalton, Cooper, and Brooklyn Gibson
