I haven’t sun Ralph for years years, but I remember his kind, friendly way. I was a plumbing apprentice in the late 60’s and had the great pleasure to work for Ralph. I know loved fishing and HAND DRAGGING the monster cat fish out of the shadows. I thought him the most fearless man I had ever met. Ralph was trowel l truly good man. I know his family will miss him. Man he and or Lord share great, good fishing tails. God bless Ralph, his family. May he watch over it all from on high.
Thank you Joe for your kind words.
