Kim,I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Bobby called them Ralphie Gene and Frannie.He loved them both very much and
had so many stories and happy memories.
He would always tell me after a visit..
"He knows I'm there,he knows it's me."I
believe that too,and I believe their friendship outlives this world.You and
your family did an amazing job all these
years.Take comfort in that and know how
many are praying and thinking of you.
With sympathy and love, Joann Gilliland

Sincere condolences to the Schneidewind Family. Ralph was a mate 'across the pond' who with his late father, saw me through my first Harley Davidson ownership. I have still got the bike - its a fitting memory for all the rides out and fun we had for a few years, back in the day. His lasting impression on me was him lending me his precious K Model to go to the races. Always in my thoughts whenever I ride out bro. 'The Limey'

Ralph was an awesome brother inlaw and always made life fun for everyone. I have so many memories of bbqs, swim parties, and rides that I'll never forget. Even just hanging out on a Sunday drinking coffee at the kitchen table while Ralph sat in the recliner watching races. I'm sorry that he is no longer with us, but I know he's now free to spend eternity with Fran. We will all miss him very much.

I was sad to hear about Ralph passing away but I now he is in a much better place. I have known Ralph since 1st grade and before we reached our 16th birthdays i remember riding with him on my Cushman Eagle and he rode a Harley Davidson Hummer. Then in 1960 I went with Ralph to he dad's HD dealership at the time called Doc & Charlie's and I bought a new 1960 XLCH and rode again with Ralph. I guess we call those the good old days which is actually how I chose to remember Ralph. Please accept my deepest sympathies to the entire Schneidewind family . I'll miss you my old friend. Dr. Harry J. Maue
