A wonderful long time friend gone too soon. He will be truly missed.
Deepest condolences to his family.
Ralph spent more time at my house in my junior year of school then he did at his house. We were together so much at that time that people thought that we were brothers. I remember helping put a four-speed transmission in his Buick Roadmaster convertible. I am so sorry to read this news. he will always be in my prayers and memory.
My condolences go out to his family. Ralph was a great friend and classmate of mine. He will be missed by many people. R.I.P. my friend.
AS LONG AS I LIVE, YOU WILL BE LOVED, MISS YOU SWEETIE
I’m so very sorry for you loss. It’s sad when you leave school and drift apart….whether we move away or stay around and still loose touch with each others. Life gets in the way….as it always does if you let it. Ralph and I dated in High School and went to many dances and parties ,back then the town had parties for the school children. It gave us a place to go and meet. So Ralph and I did do that. I have so many pictures of us then back in school. Such fond memories. I was so happy to see Ralph at the 50th class reunion. We did spend some time together but nearly not enough. There was so much going on……and happening. Once again, I’m so sorry that he got his wings so soon. It makes me think about enjoying each day to the fullest.
See you on Monday, Ralph.
Always, Frances
Ralph and I spent many days together as you boys fishing and on our bikes. Loved his Mom and Dad. Rest in peace brother Veteran.
