All of us at The Farmers & Merchants Bank have lost a true friend in Mr. Ralph. He was an honest and upright man and always handled his business and personal matters in that way. He was one of our oldest customers having banked with us for more than sixty years. We are grateful and will miss his visits to the bank which were always laced with a few short and funny jokes. May God Bless his family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear about Ralph Groom's passing. Uncle Ralph(as I called him) was a great man whom I loved dearly. He was a handsome man with great dignity and respect. Even though he was my great uncle, he treated me as his own niece. He loved his whole family very much, including his children, nephews, nieces, and especially his siblings; all eight of them to be exact. I loved him dearly and my thoughts and prayers are with his daughter at this time.
