Dear Doug and Ron,
Your family has been a part of ours for so many years. We have such fond memories of the time we spent together. There were tears and laughter but most of all a feeling of true love. Ralph will be missed by many but never forgotten. He was truly a gentleman and a great friend.
Love always, Karen Jacoby and family

Ralph has always been one of my favorite people. The consummate gentleman, I learned something about how to conduct myself each time we met. Everyone knows just how great a man and role model he has been. Our thoughts are with you.

I met Mr. Ruggles through my daddy. What a wonderful man! I always admired him from the moment I met him My 2 best memories of him are asking my daddy, "Was Mr. Ruggles in the military?", and my daddy asking me why I asked the question! Because of his stature! He walked tall! The second thing - I sent him a thank you every year on Veteran's day. And he ALWAYS sent me a thank you back - only Mr. Ruggles! More impressive he used the old manual typewriter to address the envelope. To some this might be silly, but to me is showed the beautiful, caring, compassionate man that he was. And handsome, too! My prayers are with you all as you travel this journey of grief. May the Lord wrap his loving arms around you and carry your though. Rest in Peace Mr. Ruggles.

My condolences. Made the thoughts at Hosea 13:14, where God promises to reverse deaths effects, bring a measure of comfort during this difficult time.
