Happy Birthday Dad. I know I’m a day late and you have been on my mind everyday. I miss you and talk to you you all the time. I hope you and mom are reading your books together, lol. I love and miss you both.

Thanks for everything you taught me about life dad. It took me awhile to realize you were right about most everything. Gonna miss your sense of humor and your stories. Thanks for being my dad and loving me through all the years. Forever in my heart and soul.

Well Dad, what can I say but I miss you, and don’t go to far away, I will need your ears from time to time.

I remember going to Uncle Ralph’s for family get together s and singing around the piano, guitar and banjo. also his story of playing stare downs during school lunch and the push to test button prank that was played on him at work

Ralph was a warm, caring man that we had the privelege of knowing through church. His love for the Lord and kindness to his fellow man was a witness to us all. Despite limited vision he saw past others limitations and always had an uplifting word to share. We will all miss him but know he is now seeing new life in glory. God bless his family.

Ralph was a joy to have in class. He exhibited so much heart that he was an inspiration to many of his fellow students. He only had enough time to get to yellow sash and learn the 4 Taijiquan forms before he left us – but his heart was that of a black belt!
