My sincere condolences to his family. He was an excellent computer teacher at Marcus A. Foster Middle School in Oakland. In a quite manner, he shared his expertise with the staff.

So many fond memories I have with Ralph. We played handball, softball and racquetball together. He always had a great sense of humor and a willingness to help others with their games. He was quite the musician and enjoyed bringing music to so many. Will miss him very much
