I worked with Mr. Ralph Randall at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital for many years. He was a great teacher and a great friend. He will truly be missed. Please, except my deepest sympathy.

In 1966 I graduated from Davie HS. I had the pleasure of having Mr. Randall as a teacher my last year there. I was the first girl that he ever taught at the HS. He was very gracious and protective of me. I remember him the clearist of all my HS teachers. He was a gem! My sincerest condolences to his loved ones. My thoughts are with you.
