Ralph was like the big brother I never had. Sadly, we did not keep in touch, I do no his transition leaves his family with heavy hearts but truly earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Continue to stay prayed up and faithful to the Lord; he will be with you always.

To Ralph's family: We grew up in Lamberts Point and he was a good guy full of humor. I did not know him as an adult, but beleive that he was as nice as he was at that time. May he RIP and may God comfort and keep you.

I have known Ralph since we were both 15 years old. He was my prom date, my debutante escort, and of course we both attended NSU at the same time. I was really saddened to hear of his passing, since we had not kept in touch over the years. I would like to send my condolences to his family. Remember the good times that you have shared. Ralph was the best.

To Joyce, Ralph, Jr. and Shannon,
My heart is deeply saddened by the loss of Ralph. He was such a good friend to my brother, "Bucky" (Harry Taylor) and me. I knew that he loved you greatly Joyce and family and would do anything for you. I just heard the news today, June 11, 2010 and it tore me up. Ralph was a brother and friend to me. I know that he will be sorely missed. God bless you all. Rest in God's hands for answers to questions and know that God will heal all sorrows. I know that the two buddies are together again. Love to you all,
