To all of Ralph's family,
We only learned of Ralph's passing last night or we would have been at his funeral. Ralph was a good friend and fellow jokester, and he was a hero to me. I always looked up to Ralph for his contribution to the USA by his service in World War II. I don't know if I ever thanked him for that. I looked forward to visiting with Ralph every day when I worked with him at the Furniture Factory. After he retired I was always glad to run into him and tease with him. He always gave it right back, you could never top him.
I know how much his wife & daughter and all his grandchildren meant to him. He was a family man above all else.
I will miss Ralph always, but have a sure knowledge that he is now enjoying the fruits of his labor. This is as it should be. Please know that I share your loss. God bless and comfort each of you.
Don Lile
