Uncle Ralph was indeed unique and interesting. My memories of him and Aunt Catherine include feeding the goldfish in their pond, and asking him "how's your golf game". He was always ready to play golf! Love and sympathy to my cousins Sue and Patricia and their families.

I will always remember Uncle Ralph fondly as I spent time at "the farm" with he and Aunt Catherine. Their love for each other was palpable "Sweet Pea" this and that. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ralph's family. Love, Melanie
