Ralph always had a smile and a kind word to share. One of my favorite memories with Ralph is sitting down next to him on the piano and playing a duet with him keeping that Honky Tonk rhythm. He enjoyed so much while I filled in the top part of the musical score. I’ll miss hearing him playing in the clubhouse. My sincerest condolences to Grace and family.

Uncle Ralph brought joy to this world in many ways. He was warm and friendly never without a smile. He was a gentle and kind man who greeted everyone with an abundance of affection and always the gentleman. He served his country pride his patriotism never wavered. Uncle Ralph was a wonderful storyteller and singer. I love his music and his stories. He holds a special place in my heart because he brought my Aunt Grace and family much happiness and joy. He will forever be my horseshoe and rings partner, we were quite the team. He was a man of immense faith in God and abided by his word. I will see you again in heaven Uncle Ralph and I know you will be there to show me around and sing me a tune. May God provide strength and comfort to his family. May God hold his “Gracie” tightly, as he lovingly referred to her. Our deepest condolences and prayers.
