I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Ralph in the 70's at Helena Insurance. It was my first "real" job after I graduated high school and he was very kind. After 50 years and many jobs later I have been seeing him walking in the mornings while on my way to work. I will miss his friendly wave and smile. Prayers for you all.
