Sadly, we’ve lost a good friend & family member. We enjoyed our times together over the years & shared many ups & downs in life. Ralph was a friend to everyone & doubt he never met a stranger. He was a steadfast rock to those he cared for. Rest high on the mountain next to the lake. We send our love and deepest sympathy to Melissa, Ralph’s children & grandchildren and to his many friends & extended family.
Our thoughts are with Melissa and family in our loss of our Brother, Ralph. Growing up he was always the Sportsman either playing ball or in the our doors hunting or fishing. Ralph, Butch to me, will be sadly missed.
Melissa – With sympathy to you and the family. Butch was my cousin. I remember lots of family gatherings and fun times when we were kids. He will be missed and always remembered.
