Ralph has always had a special place in my heart. Great Friends before during and after. I look at your picture and see that great smile of yours. And I miss you already. Ralph loved my kids and they loved him. My mother adored him all she had to do was call and he would be right over to do what ever she needed. I now he is giving her a big hug and kiss for me. Thanks Ralph for all the great memories , love and laughter. My heart goes out to your family remember all the good times. RIP my friend.

Ralph was one of the people I've always been close with. He was always there when u needed him. Well u might have to track him down at times. But he was always willing to help.
We have been through a lot together both good and bad. But we always made it.
Ralph was not a material person. He didn't need much and was happy with what he had.
I could easily keep going on but I'm going to end here.
Ralph I love love ya thanks for everything. You have no idea how you have impacted many lives.
You will be missed for sure!
