I remember when I was a 7th grader and Ralph was a 9th grader at Central Jr High, I was lost and couldn’t find the girls gym. I saw Ralph in the hall and he could tell I was in a panic so he took the time to take me to the girls gym. What a sweet cousin!!
What a great friend, I have known, from Junior High and High school and the many years of working at Lawrence Paper Company, my thoughts and prayers to Ralph and family.
RIP my friend what great memories I have of you.

I was so sorry to learn of Ralph’s passing. We were classmates through grade school and I can’t remember him ever saying or doing anything unkind. He was just a very nice person. While we didn’t cross paths after elementary school, I would still be able to pick him out in any of our grade school class photos. My sincere condolences.
The world just got a little smaller…….
Ralph was a kind and gentle man. May he rest in peace.
Sheri, My heart breaks for you and your family. May God comfort you and your family at this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss.
