Dear Marilyn, Ryan & Michael,
I was very sorry to hear, today, of Ralph's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.
Ralph was a wonderful guy and an amazing agent. The last time I saw Ralph, he told me about the boys joining him in the business. He was so proud of you guys.
I will always remember the times that we spent with you two, at all the Farmers conventions, over our 37 years. I won't ever forget my friend, Ralph.
