Talking of things that would go on in our lives. And very very rare that we did not tote our limit out of there. It was a great time in my life. Ralph was a very intelligent individual. And things I learned from Ralph would carry on through my life and help me a successful person in my trade. I think of him often and cherish our times together.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Betty and the rest of the family. At times during the years I thought of Ralph as a second father. He was there when I needed him or asked him for help. But what I will remember the most about Ralph is how happy he made my grandmother when the both of you went to visit her at the nursing home the past 5 years of her life. So awesome to have known Ralph and see that he was always happy. Rest In Peace... You will be dearly missed but always in my heart as a GREAT MAN.....

Betty, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Ralph has been suffering for the past year but is now free of pain and suffering. He and I worked together for over 30 years - probably the oldest ones and longest working at Glazers! Ralph was a gentleman and a good friend and will be missed by all of us. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Joyce.

So very sorry for your losss. It was a pleasure working with Ralph. Not only was he a great man to know but he never knew the word no. If you asked for help, he would drop whatever he was doing just to help. He will be missed. My prayers go out to Betty and the family.
