"Ralph" as everybody called him. Put everybody first. He allways had a smile on his face and always shook your hand when greeting you. I first met Ralph during my catacism classes/Soldier's Memorial church on Fort Carson during the 1980's. I was one of those kids whom helped with setting up the offering for morning mass and also,with collections. He helped guide us kids/future Catholics in the right direction. Ralph was even my sponsor when I was confirmed. He will always have a special place in my heart.

We greatly admire this man who served three tours of duty in Vietnam. He dearly loved his family, especially his grand children. We enjoyed our conversations with this man who had a quiet sense of humor and a big heart. Al and Judy Burroughs
